I owe thanks to the members of the Historic District Commission, who contributed their time and comments. Most notably, I'd like to thank Virginia Macro, who was a tireless resource and constant source of information on this project. I would also like to thank Mary Donohue of the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism for her guidance on this project. Finally, thanks to the many citizens of South Windsor ' who allowed me to photograph their homes and to pry into their lovely community over the past year. ' METHODOLOGY SURVEY METHODOLOGY The Phase I Historic and Architectural Resource Survey of South Windsor, Connecticut, ' was completed by Stacey Vairo of Fitzgerald & Halliday, Inc. Copies of the final report were delivered to the South Windsor Town Clerk, the Wood Memorial Library, the South Windsor Public Library, and the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism, ' Historic Preservation and Museum Division, 59 Prospect Street, Hartford, Connecticut, 06106-1901. ' The survey represents an inventory of specific architectural and historic resources in the Town of South Windsor, Connecticut. Archaeological sites were not investigated in this report. ' AREA SURVEYED AND CRITERIA FOR SELECTION ' The Historic and Architectural Resource Survey of South Windsor, Connecticut, was conducted in accordance with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Identification and Evaluation (National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, 1983). Criteria used ' for evaluation of properties were based on those of the National Register of Historic Places, administered by the National Park Service under the supervision of the Secretary of the Interior. Properties listed on the National Register include districts, sites, and ' objects that are significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture, and which contribute to the understanding of the states and the nation. The National Register's criteria for evaluation state the following: ' a. The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess the integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association, and b. that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad pattern of our history, or c. that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past, or d. that embody the distinctive characteristics of type, period, or method of ' construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a distinctive and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction, or ' e. may have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important to prehistory or history. ' This survey goes slightly beyond the strict criteria of National Register eligibility to include structures that may not meet those standards, but that may be associated with ' important persons of local or regional significance. In some cases an historical figure or South Windsor Historical Overview ' Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 1 October 2007 family may be of national significance but live in a home that may not necessarily be ' significant architecturally. Other homes may not be exceptional, but may represent an important pattern in the development of the town or represent a style of building that is significant for the area. ' This study is the first segment of a multi-part survey that will eventually include the entire town. This segment of the survey referred to as Phase I will include properties ' located along Main Street and some of the ancillary side streets. Eight threatened properties located outside of the Main Street area have also been included in this phase of ' the study. The housing stock in the study area of South Windsor can be broken into three periods. The first includes houses built from around 1700 — 1830. These include New England Colonials, Capes and Federal homes. Although some houses from this period ' include Georgian embellishments, with the exception of the Watson House at 1876 Main Street, there are no truly Georgian style residences in the study area. The next period dates from 1830-1900 and includes New England Vernacular homes with Greek Revival ' and Italianate embellishments. There are also fine examples of Carpenter Gothic, Queen Anne and Victorian houses in the area. The third period from 1890 to 1965 includes Shingle, Colonial Revival and American Four-Square styles. ' A total of 156 sites were included in this study. Archival black and white photographs of the houses were taken by Nancy Gardner in April — November 2004. Digital photos of t additional properties were taken from January — May 2006. Those properties without photographs were not accessible from the road and the owner's permission could not be obtained. ' HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW The architectural and historical overview of the sites and structures within South Windsor , was prepared by utilizing primary and secondary sources. Each property was examined in the field and the appropriate sources were employed to complete the evaluation. The ' most significant sources included municipal land records, assessor cards, maps and directories. The Wood Memorial Library was a rich source of historic photographs, newspapers, written and oral histories and secondary works. Finally the Connecticut ' State Archives in Hartford and the archives of the Connecticut Historic Preservation Office both provided a great deal of information on the history and architectural history of the town. ' INVENTORY FORM The standard Connecticut Historic Resources Inventory Form was completed for each , property according to the guidelines set forth by the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism. Each form consists of three sections: the name and location, the ' architectural description and the local, state, and national significance. Sites are organized alpha-numerically by street name and street number. Each site is numbered on South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 2 ' October 2007 ' the inventory form and corresponds to the number on both the map and the list of photographs. All names of owners as of 2000 were taken from GIS maps. Approximate ' dimensions were obtained from the South Windsor Assessor's Office. This survey concentrated on exterior architectural evaluation only. All structural systems were determined by educated guesses corroborated by research from the assessor's office and building records. While many houses in the area are definitive examples of a particular architectural style, others are simply defined as "vernacular." Vernacular can ' loosely be defined for the purposes of this survey as a structure without any particular association with a specific style (e.g., Greek Revival or Federal). The survey was completed using the terminology set forth in Virginia and Lee McAlester's Field Guide ' to American Houses (New York, 1984), and John B. Blumenson's Identifying American Architecture:A Pictorial Guide to Styles and Terms, 1600-1945 (New York, 1981). ' Below are the descriptions, modified to acknowledge their vernacular nature, of the most frequently found styles in the South Windsor survey area. ' NEW ENGLAND COLONIAL (1600-1750) New England Colonial homes are straightforward examples of the post-medieval ' construction favored by the English settlers in their own native country. The one-room, two-story, gable-roofed homes were often characterized by a prominent chimney located on a gable end and small irregularly spaced casement windows. They often began as one ' room and chamber that were expanded upon as families grew or as they prospered. A curious regional element is the "coffin door" or side entry that was often reserved for family use. These homes are commonly represented by a two-story, I-house form (one ' room deep by two rooms wide) with central chimney, a variation on the form of a single story hall-and-parlor house. The windows were typically symmetrical around a central entrance and consisted of six over six or six over nine lights (panes of glass). The centrally placed chimney helped to combat the New England winters. In some homes, adhering to seventeenth century design, the second floor projects over the first to form a jetty. "Saltboxes"were also formed by adding a shed-roofed extension to the rear of these ' homes. CAPE (1700-1750) A modest building type, this small home was in New England during this time popular g g period due in part to the fact that the small plan made it easier to heat the home in the ' winter. It typically is one-and-one-half rooms deep by two rooms wide with a central chimney and entrance on the long main fagade. Federal or Greek Revival-style detailing ' can sometimes be found on these houses. Up until the eighteenth century most Capes were characterized by low eaves and eight-foot tall corner posts, which afforded very little usable space on the "second story." In the nineteenth century the corner posts were ' raised to twelve feet to increase the amount of usable space. South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 3 October 2007 II GEORGIAN (1700-1800) The Georgian design aesthetic was one of the most widely utilized in the eighteenth ' century and has its origins in classically inspired English architecture. This was the style chosen by those citizens prosperous enough to incorporate fashion into the design of their buildings. Georgian buildings are characterized by a long elevation with symmetrically , placed bays, and a formal central hall plan with chimneys placed at the gable ends of the home. The long elevation typically faces the street, and will sometimes contain ' pedimented windows or dormers or a central front pedimented portico or porch. Often there is dental molding or other heavy molding at the cornice line with heavily paneled entry doors. Windows are typically twelve over twelve with double-hung sash. Entries ' often display pilasters and a small row of lights beneath the crown. FEDERAL (1790-1820) The entrance is the focal point of all Federal buildings. They are typically subdued in their detailing with the minimum in classical elaboration. The gable end often faces the , road and contains the main entrance, although some homes had the main entrance on the long elevation of the home especially those in early New England. Sidelights, transom or fanlights are a prevalent feature on these homes and their decoration tends to be light and , delicate — employing what is often referred to as Adamesque details such as classical swags, shields or dentil moldings. GREEK REVIVAL (1830-1860) ' This style became so popular in this time period in America that it came to be known as , the National Style. Greek Revival architecture was associated with the new wealth and the public fervor for all things classically inspired. It is indicated by a low-pitched gabled or hipped roof with emphasized cornice lines, a porch or portico supported by prominent ' square or round columns, and an entry with a narrow line of transom lights surrounding the door. At times there are also pilasters on the fagade of the home as well. Greek Revival-style homes were executed in wood, brick and stone and sometimes featured a ' full Temple front. ITALIANATE (1840-1880) ' The Italianate style is identified in residential applications through the use of wide, overhanging, bracketed eaves and tall, narrow windows often with arched or crowned ' hoods. The windows often are grouped into pairs or triplets with continuous hoods and lintels, and the roofs are often flat or hipped. This style came into vogue in the middle of the nineteenth century as part of the Romantic movement. As opposed to the classicism ' favored at the beginning of the century, this style was much less formal and the many variations found throughout America were patterned on variations of the Picturesque South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 4 ' October 2007 ' movement first seen in England. During the 1850s, Andrew Jackson Downing helped to popularize this style through his widely read, illustrated pattern books. Vernacular ' versions have shallow-hip roofs with heavy overhanging cornices and rectangular windows, which are sometimes graduated in height and arranged in the traditional three- bay pattern with off-center doorway. ' GOTHIC REVIVAL (1830-1870) ' This style of architecture was employed for ecclesiastical and domestic architecture and became a widely built style throughout the United States in the early to middle part of the nineteenth century, thanks in part to the pattern books of Andrew Jackson Downing and ' Alexander Jackson Davis. The style became most popular in South Windsor in the latter part of the nineteenth century and persisted to influence builders into the early twentieth century. Gothic Revival structures are characterized by decorated verge boards at the ' gables, single story porches, lancet or arched windows, and steeply pitched roofs. QUEEN ANNE (1880-1910) Typically asymmetrical in plan, Queen Anne houses were popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Steeply pitched hipped roofs or irregular, intersecting roof-lines often are ' the hallmark of these homes. The porches can be single and wrap-around or partial and located in a number of spots. The embellishment on this type of house came from the sheathing, which is often a patterned shingle or multi-colored brick, and also from the decorative elements on the porches such as turned spindles. The placement and style of the windows on these houses are varied as well and serve as another form of decoration. ' COLONIAL REVIVAL (1890-2000) Colonial Revival is a style favored in America and particularly in Connecticut in the first ' half of the twentieth century. The overall effect of the assimilation of a number of traditional building types is meant to evoke the New England Farmhouse type or Colonial home. The exaggeration of classical elements, such as extremely large broken pediments ' or heavily elaborated entrances, common on original Colonial homes, is indicative of the Colonial Revival style. Typically incorporated into this style are elements of Georgian, Federal and Dutch Colonial construction. Today it remains a popular building style and a ' multitude of variations can be seen throughout the town. Modern variations (dating from after 1940) often exhibit a pared-down use of detail and ornament, but retain a"Colonial" aesthetic. ' South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 5 October 2007 CRAFTSMAN/BUNGALOW(1910-1930) ' The Craftsman style home reached its zenith of popularity in the early 1920s. Beginning around 1903 the style gained attention in California, but the livable design and the , simplicity of the Asian-inspired woodwork soon brought this style to national attention. These one-and-one-half-story homes, characterized by low pitched roofs and over- hanging eaves with exposed rafter tails, tapered porch columns and heavy massing, ' became one of the most popular building types in America. Variations on the Craftsman or Bungalow style continued to be produced into the 1930s and are sometimes referred to as Bungaloid. ' FOURSQUARE (1900-1930) ' The Foursquare is characterized by its simple square structure, four-room floor plan and low-pitched hipped roof. A folk variety of the Colonial Revival movement this style was well suited to small lots, as its design offered maximum interior space. As suburbs ' around the country grew rapidly, this housing style became ubiquitous. The roofs often feature a central dormer and the height is typically two or two-and-one-half stories. A full width, open porch is typically found across the fagade and the detailing throughout is ' usually simple, influenced by the Craftsman/Bungalow style. TUDOR REVIVAL (1890-1940) ' The Tudor style was a popular choice for builders in suburban New England. Tudor ' homes retained a sense of grandeur and history, based on their English prototypes. Elements of the style include a steeply pitched roof, a cross gable or L-shaped plan, large brick chimneys and half-timbered walls. Although there are many variations on this style, , many exhibit tall,narrow, multi-paned windows that are often grouped in pairs or triplets. DATES OF CONSTRUCTION/DIMENSIONS , Dates of construction were based upon architectural evaluation supported by South Windsor Tax Assessor's records, land records, map research and records kept at the ' Wood Memorial Library. All of the dates of construction on the survey forms are circa, meaning they generally represent the middle of a ten-year period of time, unless sufficient evidence to prove the exact date of construction was found. Additional ' information was obtained from the South Windsor Historic District Commission files. The South Windsor Assessor's records were also used to determine the dimensions of the ' main blocks of each building and additions are noted. South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 6 , October 2007 ' MATERIALS AND CONDITIONS As can be expected, many of the homes in South Windsor have been altered in some way or another. Despite this fact, the condition of most of the buildings in this survey was categorized as "good." The categorization of"good" is used to describe buildings without ' any visible deterioration or other obvious problems. A rating of"fair" means that there are some exterior problems such as missing or cracked details, badly peeling paint and/or any other obvious deterioration. Only a few "deteriorated" structures made it on to the ' list due to the fact that a deteriorated structure may not merit inclusion, if it has been left without maintenance for too long. "Deteriorated" buildings have very obvious exterior problems and appear to receive no maintenance to rectify those problems. Any known threats to surveyed structures were noted. SIGNIFICANCE The architectural significance of a property is assessed by evaluating not only the aesthetics of the structure, but more importantly by determining if a structure has or ' appears to have retained the majority of its historic building fabric. Does the building itself add to the character of the particular area? Is it a good example of a particular or particularly innovative style or architect? Are the materials used unusual or interesting in ' any way? Does it embody or evoke a period of time with its design and style? In this instance, since the area being surveyed is already included in two National Register districts, a certain level of significance is assumed to be extant. ' The historical significance of each structure was evaluated by using historical maps, and records. Miscellaneous materials available at the Wood Memorial Library, previous ' research files, directories, newspapers and photographs were also utilized. In South Windsor, a number of the structures have been inhabited by locally or regionally significant people. ' The majority of information gathered in the following overview has come from The History of Ancient Windsor: Volumes I and II by Henry R. Stiles. The information gathered from these and other texts was supplemented by the research performed on the individual properties as well as records and writings found at the Connecticut Historical Society and in Historic Preservation in Connecticut, Volume III — Central Valley ' Historical and Architectural Overview and Management Guide, by Jan P. Cunningham and the Connecticut Historical Commission. South Windsor Historical Overview ' Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 7 October 2007 HISTORICAL AND AGRICULTURAL OVERVIEW 1. Introduction South Windsor is one of forty-one towns located within the Central Valle Historic rtY Y Context, an area that encompasses a 25-mile-wide swath of central Connecticut. The ' Central Valley begins at the border of Massachusetts and ends at Long Island Sound and includes one quarter of the State's land mass. The terrain is characterized by gently rolling hills interrupted by the Metacomet Ridge, which rises to its highest point almost , 900 feet above sea level. This ridge separates the Central Valley into two distinct regions dominated by the Connecticut River on the east and Farmington River on the west. The Connecticut River, which extends from Canada to Long Island Sound, is located within ' the Connecticut Valley region. The Farmington River unites with the Connecticut at Windsor. The population of the Connecticut Valley is very dense, with 1296 persons per square , mile versus the state average of 683 (Cunningham, 7). Hartford and New Haven are the largest cities in the Central Valley and account for 14 percent of the overall regional ' population. The surrounding suburbs of Hartford and New Haven as well as the former manufacturing centers of Middletown, Meriden and New Britain all exhibit similarly dense settlement patterns. , Approximately 25,000 years ago, glaciations, which had been taking place in the Northern Hemisphere for almost five million years, began to shape the Central ' Connecticut Valley. As the glaciers advanced southward across Connecticut to meet the ocean, all of the northeastern United States became covered in thick blankets of ice. Some 7,000 years later the glaciers slowly retreated to the north, eventually forming the ' topography of the land that would become Connecticut. Glacial till, consisting of clay, gravel, silt and sand, was left in the glacier's wake throughout the Central Valley region, allowing for a finer texture of soil than found elsewhere in the state. The resulting till , and clay provided material for making bricks, used locally. Red sandstone, which was abundant in the valley, was used in buildings throughout the country in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Connecticut River, the valley's most vital resource, was ' initially formed as a large lake stretching 140 miles from Vermont to Rocky Hill. It slowly drained and scored a path through the rocky stretches of land to reach Middletown and eventually Old Saybrook and the ocean. , The remaining soils brought south by the glaciers, along with the annual alluvial deposits, proved to be easily workable and fertile for the first settlers of South Windsor. Large ' stretches of virgin forest blanketed the areas surrounding the open meadows, which the Native Americans had burned clear along the riverbanks and elsewhere. Throughout the small towns beginning to form in Connecticut during the early colonial period, ' agriculture was the chief means of survival. Such was the way of life in early Windsor, South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 8 ' October 2007 ' but the presence of the Connecticut River set Windsor apart from most other inland communities. ' The history of South Windsor prior to 1845 mirrors that of its "parent towns", East Windsor and Windsor. The Connecticut River proved a natural boundary for the division ' of East Windsor from Windsor in 1768. As the population throughout the area increased and new parishes were established, the Towns of Ellington (1786) and South Windsor (1845) were formed. ' The Connecticut River was the most powerful presence in the lives of Windsor's first settlers. It afforded them food, facilitated transportation and communication, created ' opportunities for trade, and replenished topsoil through annual spring flooding. Windsor became an important colonial shipping port and enjoyed remarkable prosperity due to its location at the head of such an easily navigable river. Shipbuilding and seafaring trades ' also brought a level of wealth and sophistication to the Windsors, not seen in many other inland agricultural communities of the time. The mild terrain of this area did not provide sufficient water-power to drive the large mills seen elsewhere in the growing state, but some smaller mills were arranged along the banks of the Scantic River and Broad Brook. Today, South Windsor is located in Hartford County and is bounded by the towns of East ' Windsor and Ellington on the north,Vernon on the east, East Hartford and Manchester on the south, and across the River, Hartford and Windsor on the west. The total area of the town is approximately 28 square miles. Despite recent commercial and residential ' growth, South Windsor remains a fairly sparsely settled, suburban community. Significant changes have occurred in the last century, but the town's history has remained a central focus of its identity. Preservation efforts have helped this town to preserve a large swath of its past in the form of the East Windsor Hill and the Windsor Farms National Register Historic Districts, yet many of its resources (many related to its history of tobacco growing) are threatened by development. ' The area surrounding "Old Main Street" has the highest concentration of historic properties in the Town. It is included as part of two National Register Districts as well as a local district under the purview of the Town's Historic District Commission. As an "offspring" of one of the oldest recognized towns in Connecticut, South Windsor has done much to retain the historic character of a suburban community, yet it remains ' vulnerable to the effects of urban sprawl. ' Since 1990, the population and number of housing units have increased rapidly, but at a pace slower than the state average (4% vs. 7%). Town demographics indicate that the largest group (36%) of the Town's residents are people between the ages of 25-49. Many of the towns in the Central Valley have an increasing elderly population, and many of the homes that were built for growing families in the 1950s and 1960s are still being inhabited by their first owners. South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 9 October 2007 II. Colonial Period 1634-1780 ' The colonial history of South Windsor runs parallel to that of East Windsor, the town from which it was formed in 1845. East Windsor was, in turn, formed from the Windsor ' Plantation in 1768. The term used to describe South Windsor during the Colonial Period was "Windsor East of the River" or "Windsor Farmes." Land grants from the original ' settlement of Windsor included home lots on the western side of the Connecticut River and "planting lots" on the east side of the river. As populations increased with each new family arriving from Massachusetts or England, the eastern side of the river was settled. ' The Puritan ideology of religious freedom often resulted in divisions among the settlers. Towns quickly broke apart into smaller parishes as ecclesiastical disagreements and the long distances required to travel to Sunday services split the citizenry of Connecticut's ' first small towns. Throughout the colonial period, tensions ran high between the English and some of the , more powerful Native American tribes. Lingering resentments and increasing English immigration continued to fuel conflicts that engulfed the New England States and in 1675 resulted in King Philip's War (Cunningham, 11). Nearly 100 years later, the Revolutionary War galvanized the colonists against a common enemy. Whereas before the war they existed in somewhat disjointed settlements of Plantations and Towns, they now became members of an organized and independent government. ' Native Americans Ancestors of the Native Americans encountered by the colonial settlers had been living in , the Connecticut River Valley since 10,000 B.P. Throughout Connecticut and New England, numerous tribes were found, ten alone within the bounds of Windsor, all of ' which fell under the purview of the Algonquin group. South Windsor was in the domain of the Podunks. These tribes were hunter-gatherers and skilled horticulturalists, who lived in small, semi-sedentary family groups (Cunningham, 12). According to historian Henry , R. Stiles, the Podunks "bore the reputation of being a ferocious and warlike people" (Stiles, 113), though elsewhere they were cited as peaceful. There is no evidence of any conflicts with the English. ' The sachem of the East Windsor Podunks, Waguinacut, along with other delegates from the "Windsor Tribes", traveled to the Massachusetts Colony and the Pilgrims at Plymouth ' to promote English settlement in their area in the early 1630s (Stiles, 113). Many of the smaller tribes welcomed English settlement as a means of trading goods and as protection against the more aggressive Pequots and Mohawks. Although the tribes sought out the , English for protection, their arrival actually proved to be a significant threat. Smallpox and other European diseases killed nearly 90 percent of the Native Americans, first in the epidemic of 1614 and again in 1634, when a second epidemic spread across the state (Cunningham, 14). In addition, English farming practices and concepts of land ownership South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 10 , October 2007 clashed with those of the native people who were soon crowded out of their former planting and hunting grounds. The murder of John Oldham off Block Island was the beginning of a breakdown of trust between the English and various Native American groups. This mistrust erupted into ' violence after April 23, 1637, when a group of Pequots went to Wethersfield and killed three women and six men as they worked on the banks of the River. Joined by Mohegan and Podunk warriors, John Mason of Windsor led soldiers from the three river towns to attack the Pequots at Mystic (Cunningham, 12). The resulting massacre took the lives of nearly all the Pequots in the village. Locally, despite tensions, the River Tribes and the early settlers shared a fairly amicable relationship. As many smaller tribes succumbed to the rapid English settlement of their lands, those such as the Wampanoags under Metacomet (known as Philip) chose to fight. ' In 1675, escalating disputes between various Indian tribes and the colonists erupted into King Philip's War. In the years between 1675-1676, Windsor men left home for Massachusetts to fight, but the River Tribes did not participate in these conflicts ' (Cunningham, 16). Localized acts of violence did however occur, such as when Edward Elmer was killed in 1676, while farming his land located in the meadows of Windsor Farmes (now South Windsor). To protect against these threats, Nathaniel Bissell's house ' on the east side of the river, south of the Scantic, was garrisoned during the war (Stiles, 225-26). Following the defeat of King Philip in 1676, an increased sense of safety led to the influx of more European settlers into the region. Widespread disease had ravaged the Native American population upon the arrival of the first settlers; now the further restrictions placed on their hunting lands and trade routes made life as they had once known it impossible. Many simply left for the more remote areas of Upstate New York. ' Others stayed on to live fairly isolated and restricted existences. Town Formation and Settlement Patterns 1634-1780 Early European settlement in Windsor was a disorganized and fraught affair. The first European to see South Windsor was Adrian Block, who sailed up the Connecticut River ' in 1614. He landed at a point on the east side of the River, now part of South Windsor, called Nowashe by the Indians who lived there. This early exploration led to the Dutch establishing a trading post on the Connecticut River at Hartford. In 1631, feeling the need ' of protection from the Pequots and Mohawks, members of the River tribes, led by the Podunk sachem Wahguinnicut (Stiles, 113), traveled to the Plymouth Colony to persuade the Pilgrims to establish a trading post on their lands. The offer did not tempt the Pilgrims, nor the settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, whom the Indians also approached. Later a second party of Indians, led by Attawanot of the Windsor tribes, pled their case again to the Pilgrims. This time their offer was accepted, and in 1633 members of the Plymouth Colony landed at the mouth of the Farmington River and set up a trading post. South Windsor Historical Overview ' Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 11 October 2007 One year later, the Dorchester Party, a group of recent emigres from England, who had ' settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts, arrived in Windsor; between 1634 and 1642 thousands of families (over 120,000 people) left England for America as part of the Great Migration (Cunningham, 17). The newcomers from Dorchester far outnumbered the Pilgrims, and despite protests, began to divide the land into home lots. The meadows were especially coveted, because they provided cleared and fertile land for growing the crops necessary for survival. After a great deal of animosity and wrangling over land , titles and boundaries (and the intervention of a third party, the Lords and Gentlemen, represented by Francis Stiles), a compromise was reached: since the Pilgrims had already ' settled the 100 acres called the Plymouth Meadows, the Dorchester Party took the 600- acre Great Meadows situated north of the Tunxis (Farmington) River (Stiles, 24-63). In April of 1636, according to a `record of purchase' cited by Stiles (127-28), settlers of the ' `Dorchester Plantation' purchased from the Podunks `the land on the east side of the Great River,between Scantock(Scantic) and Podunk [Rivers]'. This tract beyond the east bank of the Connecticut River is located in what eventually became South Windsor. ' In 1635, the settlement of Connecticut was officially approved and the right to swear a constable for the Connecticut Colony was established. Two years later, the settlers named ' their plantation Windsor. While not technically a part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the three River Towns of Hartford, Windsor and Wethersfield remained loosely under its control. The General Court of Connecticut was formed in 1639, the same year in which ' the Fundamental Orders (considered by many to be the Nation's first Constitution) were drafted by the River Towns. The Towns formally established a governor in John Winthrop, Jr., and a legislature made up of two houses of elected officials. In 1662, ' Winthrop moved to obtain a royal charter, which allowed the Fundamental Orders to be enacted (Fraser, 19). The population of colonial Windsor was divided into four classes: inhabitants, householders, proprietors and freemen. Inhabitants were those who were , simply admitted to live in the community; householders were heads of family, male or female, who owned a specified amount of real state; a proprietor was considered to be one of the group who had originally purchased the lands within the settlement territory; ' and freemen were inhabitants over the age of 16 who had both taken an oath of fidelity and had earned the trust of the town. Townsmen were elected by freemen and served the same function as modern-day ' selectmen, although their powers were more varied. They oversaw all of the general operations of the town (Stiles, 172). As the population of Windsor increased, and the ' town became more developed, a series of officials was elected that included, surveyors, recorders and town criers. Representatives from Hartford, Wethersfield and Windsor including Town Clerks, were ' chosen to oversee "Courts of Probation". These were established to handle all legal documents including wills and estates. As a result, the distribution and control of lands ' became a more organized business. The first Town Clerk in Windsor was Dr. Bray Rossitor and the first constable was Mr. Henry Wolcott(Stiles, 84). South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 12 , October 2007 Home lots were located west of the Connecticut River (in present-day Windsor), while planting lots were located on the eastern side of the River (in present-day East and South ' Windsor). Each recipient of a home lot received a planting lot in kind. With the homesteads divided as such, it became necessary to establish a ferry to take supplies, oxen and harvested crops back and forth across the river. John Bissell began running his ' ferry in 1641 from a point north of the Scantic River. As early as 1642, the court gave permission for the town of Windsor to operate a ferry, and in 1648-49 the court formalized a contract with Bissell. John Bissell was one of the "founding fathers" of ' South Windsor; as early as 1659-1660, he built his home near the ferry landing south of the Scantic River on the east side of the Great River (Stiles, 409). His sons, John and Nathaniel, also moved east of the river, making them one of the first families to do so (Stiles, 77). By 1660, talk of constructing a road on the eastern side of the river is documented in the ' town records, and by 1670 the General Court had ordered that "the selectmen shall lay out a Highway" but the work was not undertaken for over twenty years (Stiles, 537-38). The resulting thoroughfare (Old Main Street) was first named "King's Highway" in ' honor of Edward King, one of the first men to own land east of the River(Stiles, 119). Soon more settlers built their homes along King's Highway. The Reverend Dr. Thomas Robbins stated in his dairy: "The Population of East Windsor was found along the great thoroughfare ' on the east side of the river, leading from East Hartford to Springfield. It was early designated The Street. It runs a little way back from the meadows on the second bank of the river, out of the way of all floods, but near rich meadow lands... " (Stiles, 735). Building on the Land 1634-1780 Certain characteristics are common to the settlement patterns of all three River Towns (Hartford, Wethersfield and Windsor). Since the river served as the eastern boundary for ' each, roads were generally built in a north-south direction running parallel to the river. Sparse but consistent settlement continued east of the river in Windsor Farmes. Main Street was constructed in 1679, "six rods wide upon the upland of the east side of the ' Great River, that men may pass to their Lotts there as occasions shall require" (Stiles, 538). ' The original settlement patterns associated with the long lots of the first inhabitants are still visible despite the fact that there has been some infill housing. The first lots extended three miles inland from the river — creating "Long Lots." These lots were traversed by "the Street" which soon became lined with homes. One of the oldest surviving of these homes is the house at 1835 Main Street. It was built by Benjamin Bissell in 1694 ' (Burgdorf, 38). ' South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 13 October 2007 The shelters of the first settlers were small, consisting of two open, square rooms. Man ' Y of these were two stories high. One universal element seen in all early Colonial building was a reliance on local building materials. Many early structures in the River Towns , carried on the English tradition of thatched roofs because of their proximity to the river grasses (Cunningham, 18). The heavy timber used in English framing practices was ' easily found throughout the Central Valley and post-medieval English building practices such as post and beam construction were in use throughout the colonial period. In the Connecticut Colony, a general lack of religious consensus was pervasive. As , ecclesiastical governments were formed, a number of different parishes broke off to form new towns throughout the State. In Windsor, a second church was established to meet the ' needs of the growing population east of the River. By 1699, a separate parish had been formed known as the Second Church and Society. This trend of splintering parishes enabled Connecticut to grow quickly during the colonial period. By December of 1768, ' Erastus Wood and Josiah Bissell appointed a committee to initiate a break between the East and West parishes of Windsor. In 1768, the Second Society was incorporated as the independent town of East Windsor which included present-day South Windsor and ' Ellington as well as East Windsor. A burying ground was established adjacent to the meeting house in 1707 (now the Old Burying Ground). The first interments began in 1708 with the death of Thomas Morton, who fell from a tree and"broke his neck" (Stiles, ' 734). By the middle of the eighteenth century, Main Street was thriving with various shops and ' craftsmen. Shipyards and merchant shipping flourished as local goods were traded for products from the West Indies, England and Spain. The area at the north end of Main Street near Ferry Lane was known as East Windsor Hill. According to Stiles, for many ' years it was here that the "bulk of the wealth and cultured influence was found" (Stiles, 735). After a ride down Main Street in 1771, America's second president, John Adams, wrote in his diary: ' `I have spent this morning riding through paradise. My eyes never beheld so fine a country. From Bissell's Tavern, to ' Hartford Ferry, eight miles, is one continued street, houses all along, and a vast prospect of level country on each hand, the land very rich and the husbandry very good' (Diary of John Adams, ' June 8, 1771). Agriculture 1634-1780 ' The area of the Central Valley differs from much of Connecticut in that it benefits from fairly level terrain and rich, rock-free, alluvial soils. Also the river provided colonial farmers with an easy way to ship goods to and from market. These beneficial circumstances allowed many of the farmers in the Central Valley to profit from the trade South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 14 , October 2007 of their goods beyond the usual level of subsistence farming. This area was known as the country's first "wheat belt", due to the vast fields of grain that were once grown here (Cunningham, 29). Agricultural practices of the colonists were similar to the land use patterns used by the ' English in their native land. There was, however, a great deal to be learned from the Native American methods of cultivation. Crops such as corn and tobacco were new to the settlers, but came to be an important part of their agricultural systems. Open-field farming was the dominant practice, with large lots based on the typical English manor village (Cunningham, 29). Specialization of crops occurred early in the Central Valley. In the Windsors, these specialty crops included potatoes, rye and most importantly, ' tobacco. The "weed" was brought from Virginia to Windsor in 1640 and soon thrived in the alluvial plains of the Connecticut River. It became a principal commercial crop for the Wolcott, Ellsworth and Bissell families among others and was sent to South America, ' the West Indies and Europe. Tobacco was pressed into large bails or casks (many of which weighed 400 pounds) for shipment overseas. Within town, large transactions took place between farmers and merchants. Merchants often made their fortunes by purchasing ' tobacco and horses from East Windsor residents and shipping them to Barbados (Stiles, 767). Another important crop was rye, large quantities of which were raised in the northern part of town. Commerce and Industry 1634-1780 Two of the oldest industries practiced in Windsor Farmes were farming and shipbuilding. While the former is a predictable pursuit for an inland Colonial town, the latter is perhaps less so, yet the proximity of the Windsors to the Connecticut River made the maritime trades an important element of Colonial life. Beginning in 1660, the three ports of the River Towns became the portals through which all of the trade of the Connecticut Valley passed. Shipbuilding was not the only maritime trade practiced in Windsor. Trading with domestic ports, Europe and primarily the West Indies brought wealth and sophistication to the town throughout colonial times. Among the residents of East Windsor Hill, Captain Ebenezer Grant was the most prosperous. Grant's house was modeled on that of one of his business associates, John Hancock of Boston. Both men employed the same architect ' to create a sense of power and place within their communities (Stiles, 768). Grant exported a number of goods, including pelts, laths, cider, and perhaps most importantly, tobacco. He also imported rum, molasses and spices. To create his fleet, he established a ' shipyard which operated at the mouth of the Scantic River from 1728 to 1779 (Stiles, 767). Here local shipwrights Ebenezer Bliss, Charles Gaylord and Ebenezer Watson built Grant's brigantines and sloops (Burgdorf, 80). Mills were an integral part of colonial life and the first mention of a mill in South Windsor was of one operated on the banks of the Scantic by Nathaniel and John Bissell in South Windsor Historical Overview ' Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 15 October 2007 the mid-1600s (Burgdorf, 11). A second mill operated by Samuel Rockwell was built on ' the Podunk River in 1750. Corn, buckwheat and rye were all processed at Rockwell's mill. Due to the flat nature of the terrain in the Connecticut Valley, few streams provided effective waterpower. , As a result of the successful mercantile trade in the Central Valley towns, a gentry class was established, which created a high demand for finely made fashions and furnishings and handicrafts. Grant had much of his furniture made by Eliphalet Chapin, a famous East Windsor cabinet-maker (Burgdorf, 80). Smith Bailey was a goldsmith and ' silversmith, who once filled an order for a penknife placed by George Washington (Burgdorf, 27). Bailey, along with his brother Richard, also repaired watches and made spoons in a shop that was attached to the East Windsor Hill Post Office (Burgdorf, 19). ' Daniel Bumap, a brass founder, clockmaker and silversmith, whose work is valued by museums today, also worked in East Windsor Hill. One of his apprentices was Eli Terry, who later created an inexpensive, mass-produced "Yankee Clock". Terry's innovation, ' patented in 1797, made it possible for people of lesser means to place clocks in their homes. One of Colonial South Windsor's best-known inventors was a man named John Fitch. ' Fitch was born in 1743 on King Street and sold goods to soldiers during the Revolutionary War. He was hired to map the western territories and was inspired by the ' vastness of the Mississippi River to invent a steam-powered boat. He exhibited his invention at the Constitutional Convention in Delaware in 1787, but it generated little interest. Credit for the invention of the steamboat instead went to Robert Fulton. A ' marker on Old King Street commemorates Fitch's innovation and finally acknowledges the South Windsor native who changed the way the world traveled. Society and Religion 1634-1780 As the population east of the river continued to grow, residents found it more and more , difficult to travel the distances required (six to twelve miles) to attend meetings and religious services (Stiles, 614). By 1691, approximately fifty families brought a petition before the General Court to keep a separate church east of the river. Their request was ' granted and three years later they hired a minister— Reverend Timothy Edwards (Stiles, 552). Edwards, a well-respected son of a Hartford merchant, was pastor of his South Windsor congregation from 1694 to 1758. The first meeting house was constructed at the northeast corner of the old burying ground near the current site of the Masonic Hall (Stiles, 554). By 1699, Edwards' parishioners were divided from the Ecclesiastical Society at Windsor proper and named the Second Church and Society in Windsor (Stiles, ' 557). Timothy Edwards was not only a preacher but an educator who prepared young men for entrance into Yale. Edwards believed that young women as well as men should be educated—an unorthodox view at the time that was perhaps influenced by the fact that he had ten daughters and only one son. Timothy Edwards served his parish for 63 years until his death in 1758 at the age of 89 (Stiles, 577). The Society voted to construct a new South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 16 ' October 2007 ' meeting-house near the same site in 1710, but a great deal of debate went into its planned location. The petition brought before the General Court stated that there were 37 families ' located north of the house and 57 were located to the south. The southern parishioners lost their debate and the house remained in place. Windsor Farmes was largely made up of wealthy and headstrong farmers and merchants who often disagreed with their pastor. Religious debate flourished throughout Connecticut, beginning in the 1740s. This movement for change, known as the Great ' Awakening, was driven by the sermons of the Reverend George Whitfield. Whitfield spoke out against the Puritan belief system and encouraged an individual, evangelical form of worship. The traditional Puritan Church or the "Old Lights" became pitted ' against the followers of Whitfield, known as "the New Lights." As it grappled with this internal conflict, the church continued to lose influence over the lives of the colonists. Timothy Edward's son, Jonathan, was one of the most important New Light preachers in ' Connecticut and one of the most prominent philosopher-theologians of his day. Jonathan was born along the Street in 1703 (his birthplace is indicated by an historical marker today). He graduated from Yale at 17 and became pastor of the Northampton Church, where he incited a number of religious revivals. Edwards was a controversial figure, who challenged the Standing Order with his orthodox views. By 1748, he had ' alienated a large number of his congregation by insisting that only those who followed this orthodox tract could partake of Communion. After being dismissed from his post, he completed his best-known work, The Freedom of the Will, and later became president of Princeton University. His grandson, Aaron Burr, became third vice-president of the United States. Three years after their pastor's death, the Second Society constructed a third Meeting House with a steeple and "edifice paid for mainly by the sale of tobacco" (Stiles, 585). It stood until 1845 on a site just southeast of the existing Congregational Church. In 1708, the Saybrook Platform was enacted, which sought to centralize the church b g Y codifying its governance. Instead of centralizing the Church, however, the Platform 1 served to provide many with the tolerance needed by dissenting groups to form a number of Anglican and Baptist churches (Cunningham, 27). This tolerance was pervasive in South Windsor, where the first Baptist meetings were held in private homes. The tclandestine meetings were controversial affairs and participants, such as the Reverend Mr. Marshall of Windsor Farmes, were often fined(Stiles, 789). ' Education and Society 1634-1780 The Code of 1650 indicated that every town in the Connecticut Colony that had 50 or more families was also to have a school master. Schools statewide were placed under the control of local ecclesiastical societies after 1711. By the year 1712, each town in the state received money to maintain their parish schools based on the grand list. By 1717, it ' South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 17 October 2007 was mandated that schools had to be maintained for at least 11 months of the year, since ' before this time many were operating erratically at best. In East Windsor, the first mention of schools was in a town vote, wishing to establish a ' school in April of 1698. Two years later, the system came under the care of Reverend Edwards. A vote from 1702 mentioned that "there shall be a school, and divided as it , was last year...and...a man to keep school" (Stiles, 407). By 1718, the school was kept in two places: one below and one above the Meeting House on Main Street. By 1724, there were six schools, which employed"master during the winter months and school dames in ' the summer" (Stiles, 408). The writings of Mehetabel Stoughton, dated 1726, indicate that the Englishwoman was teaching a small group of students in a private home at that time (Stiles, 749). ' In the strictly stratified society of Windsor Farmes, certain men stand out — whether by birth or station. One of the most prominent citizens, General Roger Wolcott, Colonial ' Governor from 1750 to 1754, lived in Windsor Farmes, as did his son Oliver Wolcott, signer of the Declaration of Independence and Governor of Connecticut from 1796-1797. Another citizen of note was the town's first doctor, Elihu Tudor, who practiced in East ' Windsor between 1740 and 1790. More unusual for the time was a contemporary of Tudor's, Doctor Primus: Primus Manumit was a slave who belonged to Dr. Alexander Wolcott of Windsor. Upon being freed by Wolcott, Primus moved to East Windsor and ' practiced medicine. He rented a lot located behind the Eliakim Cook House at 1575 Main Street for a number of years (Burgdorf, 87). One final place that is important to note is the Bissell Tavern. The tavern was a major ' landmark, a place where stages and coaches were changed, and more importantly, where men came to meet and discuss their affairs. It was here that John Adams spent the night ' on his way to Wethersfield. The Tavern stood in East Windsor Hill and was torn down before 1905 (Burgdorf, 24). American Revolution 1775-1781 At the beginning of the Revolution, Windsor was an established and flourishing ' community. Trade provided a way for Windsor's farmers to profit considerably from the many goods grown throughout the Valley; the populace was fairly wealthy, educated and sophisticated. Yet, dissatisfaction was growing towards the Crown, and as the freedoms , enjoyed by the Colony of Connecticut began to come at a price, the ideals of patriotism and independence spread. Shortly before the Revolution, Connecticut was virtually free to govern itself. The State had a powerful bi-cameral General Assembly that was ' sanctioned by charter from England. Each town had two local, elected officials that would serve in the General Assembly's House of Representatives. In the period before the Revolution, Connecticut grew into a fairly stable and politically autonomous state, but 1 after the Peace of Paris in 1763 new taxes were levied against the colonies and dissension grew. South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 18 ' October 2007 ' A meeting was held in East Windsor in 1775 to discuss the "distressed condition of the Town of Boston". As a result of the meeting, donations of grain were sent to that ' suffering city (Stiles, 627). The following year, a "Committee of Safety" was created to keep a watch on potential Tory sympathizers and to find out where each member of the community stood in relation to the impending conflict. Members of the Committee of ' Safety included William and Erastus Wolcott, Capts. Ebenezer Grant and Lemuel Stoughton, Deacon Benoni Olcott, and Messrs. Charles Ellsworth, Daniel Ellsworth, Jr., and Edward Chapman(Stiles, 628). Train-bands (military companies of men) had been formed in the River Towns prior to the start of the War. In what is now South Windsor, there were two —the Wapping band under the control of Matthew Grant and the South Parish band under the order of Captain Amasa Loomis. In response to the "Lexington Alarm" on April 19, 1775, East Windsor sent four companies of men to battle—the North Parish (currently in East Windsor) under Lemuel Stoughton, the South Parish, Wapping Parish and Ellington Parish under the command of Charles Ellsworth (Stiles, 630). Most East Windsor men ended up fighting under Colonel Benjamin Hinman as part of the Fourth Continental Army. East Windsor was also designated as a "provision town" during the war. The townspeople's clocks and leaded windows were collected and melted down to produce ammunition under the direction of Deacon Benoni Wolcott. Merchant Ebenezer Grant was in charge of organizing the collection of clothing and cloth and Lemuel Stoughton supplied the Continentals with foodstuffs such as beef, pork, and flour (Stiles, 639). ' British prisoners were also billeted at the homes of Old East Windsor residents. Major General Prescott resided at the Major F. W. Grant house for nearly a year after his capture in 1777. Prescott was a British aristocrat who looked down upon his captors. The ' diary of Dr. Gillette states, "His guard used to amuse themselves by annoying him and listening to his wholesale curses against Americans" (Stiles, 659). Benjamin Franklin's son William, Royal Governor of New Jersey, was also kept along Main Street under the 1 watch of two fourteen year old boys, Dyer Newberry and Benjamin Skinner(Stiles, 660). ' During the spring of 1778, General Lafayette kept his quarters in Nathaniel Porter's House on Main Street (no longer extant), where he was visited by General Washington. In 1781, there were 19 British officers with 43 servants and 43 Hessian officers with 93 ' servants — and two German chaplains (Stiles, 675). To busy the many Hessian soldiers quartered in town, Lafayette ordered them to plant rows of elm trees along Main Street. Perhaps this order was meant to dissuade the men from engaging in a more favored ' activity— gambling on the horse races which took place along "The Street." The citizens of East Windsor disapproved of these races. General Rochambeau's French troops were also stationed in South Windsor at the same period as Lafayette. Many balls and parties were given in their honor, and the townsmen and ladies attended. Away from the battlefield people felt the strain of war. Clothing and provisions were scarce for the army and for those at home. Few men were available to work the fields ' South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 19 October 2007 and a depleted number of men deemed necessary to the proper function of the town, such ' as millers and ferrymen, were left to coordinate the operations of the town and to serve as home guards. ' Post-Medieval and Georgian Architecture 1634-1780 Features common to all early Colonial housing styles include heavy timbered framing ' and a large centrally placed chimney and gable roofs (although some houses also exhibit a gambrel roof line). A massive central chimney often dominated the plan of the house, and provided much needed warmth to all of the rooms and cooking space. A small number of later homes feature instead a pair of free-standing chimneys. South Windsor was more stylistically advanced than most other inland communities; ' therefore the earliest surviving homes do not reflect their original design. Instead houses such as the Benjamin Bissell, the earliest in the district at 1835 Main Street, were "updated" to include more modern elements. The more modest Cape style of house was often one story high with a shallow, pitched ' gable roof. This style also featured a central chimney with two large chambers located across the front and one long chamber across the back. Occasionally, twelve-foot corner posts would also allow for use of the second story. The entry was often located centrally in front of the chimney and was flanked by a pair of windows on either side. The saltbox is a variation on this same style and seems to have evolved out of a need for increased space. Saltboxes were similar to the two-story Capes in plan, often being two rooms wide ' with a central stair and large back room. There are no Capes remaining from the colonial period on Main Street, but an example of a saltbox can be seen at the Matthew Sadd house built in 1750 at 1732 Main Street. ' Classic New England Colonials, two rooms deep, by two rooms wide, by two stories high can be seen throughout South Windsor. Most often built after 1730, this style of gable- roofed house allowed for use of the attic space in addition to that of the second story. A unique local example, dating from c. 1743, can be found at the Moses Wells House, located at 1712 Main Street. This house has a highly unusual double-hipped roof with ' three hipped-roof dormers. A peculiar regional architectural element found in the houses of the River towns is the side entry or "coffin door". Coffin doors were often found in the region after 1700 (Cunningham, 38). Since the front entranceways were too narrow ' to maneuver a coffin through, these doors were built directly onto the mourning rooms or parlors so that the dead could be brought in and out of the house easily. They were placed on an end elevation and served as the entry for the family of the house. , There is only one example of early Georgian architecture remaining in the Main Street area, but the sophistication and wealth of the citizenry created a demand for this elaborate , fashion, which paid homage to the classical motifs and symmetry of renaissance builders. South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 20 ' October 2007 ' This style, which was wildly popular among the upper classes in England, was another way for the gentry of South Windsor to display their wealth. ' Another element specific to the region is the Connecticut River Valley doorway. These doors and their accompanying surrounds were built to indicate the inhabitants' status in ' society — most were successful merchants. Common elements include classically inspired columns, scrolled pediments, and elaborately carved lintels. Almost all varieties of this doorway exhibit double-leaf paneled doors (Cunningham, 40). The Ebenezer ' Grant House at 1653 Main Street retains an excellent example of a Connecticut River Valley doorway. ' III. Agriculture and Early Industrial Period 1780-1850 Following the Revolution, Connecticut was in a state of complete social and economic ' disarray. There were no set rules in place to deal with the changes wrought during the war. Poverty, crime and disease all grew at alarming rates as the gap between the classes widened. Merchants and tradesmen had prospered from the war and small farmers had suffered. As the demand for commercial activity increased among the wealthier classes and available lands diminished, the problem intensified. ' A new way of life was moving in to replace the old: religion became further decentralized throughout the state; immigration introduced more religious groups and served to further fracture the solid Congregational core of worship; programs of social ' reform were put into place, and libraries, colleges and museums were built. Advancements in transportation, seen in the form of steam power and the new turnpike system, further facilitated trade and industry. As the Farmington Canal was built and new railway tracks were laid throughout the region, manufacturing began to take on a new importance. By 1850, one half of the state's men were employed by industry. Yet in East Windsor, agriculture would remain a way of life during this period. Outside of East Windsor, over-farming brought blight as overworked soil would no longer yield crops. Large-scale emigrations to the west and south left Connecticut with a labor shortage that was assuaged only by the large-scale immigration of foreign-born workers. Transportation 1780-1850 ' The Connecticut River remained an important transportation link during the beginning of this period. However, that began to change when the Hartford Bridge was built in 1808, obstructing navigation on the Connecticut River. This, combined with European wars, the shifting of the river channel, and competition from the railroads, made shipping unprofitable and it was slowly eliminated. By the end of the Revolution, roads throughout the state remained in poor condition. ' Turnpikes were established so that roads could be maintained without causing an expense ' South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 21 October 2007 r to the taxpayers of the towns. Instead, tolls were paid by those who utilized the roads. r By 1798, the Hartford-New Haven Turnpike was operating from the South Green in Hartford to Hillhouse Avenue in New Haven (Cunningham, 56). "The Street" remained the principal thoroughfare in East Windsor with coaches making regular stops at the r Bissell Tavern on their way to and from Springfield. The Post Road between Boston and New York (Route 1) along the coast provided a more efficient means of communication along its route. The turnpike era in Connecticut was relatively short lived, since r payments often did not cover maintenance costs and businesses were forced to abandon the roads. Railroad tracks were laid throughout the State beginning in the 1840s. Railroads had an r effect on nearly every aspect of Americans' lives — from communication to construction, r and revolutionized the way goods were produced and delivered to consumers. Although there were no railroads in South Windsor until the early 1870s, the lines running in and out of Hartford and East Hartford provided local farmers with an expanded consumer r base. Commerce and Agriculture 1780-1850 r Agricultural operations were still of premier importance to the people of Old East Windsor, and would continue to be for many years. Advancements in the science of r agriculture would lead to a specialization of products throughout the Central Valley. In Connecticut's "Tobacco Valley" which stretched from Hartford to Springfield, Massachusetts, tobacco would become the most important specialty crop. r In 1801, Mrs. Prout, the wife of a Main Street tobacco farmer, became the first person to roll a cigar in the United States. She had protested against her husband's wasteful , practice of shipping his tobacco to the West Indies to be rolled and then shipped back. Instead, she made and sold cigars of broadleaf tobacco out of a wagon along with a group of other tobacco farmer's wives. r River yards were still in operation and trade with the West Indies remained important for the towns in the Central Valley, particularly after Europe went to war in the period ' between 1793 and 1807 (Cunningham, 50). Trade had opened up with China, but on a limited basis for the River Towns. In fact, while still a source of income, the interior ports were not as active as those found elsewhere along the coast and further south along r the River. The majority of the shipping trade shifted to New Haven and New London and more prominently to New York and Boston. By the end of the period, shipbuilding had all but ceased in South Windsor as the majority of firms dissolved or moved to the r shore. On the agricultural front, advancements were made out of sheer necessity. Land throughout the state was at a premium, since many of the original fields were now overworked and blighted. It was during this time that mass emigrations took place r South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 22 r October 2007 r westward to New York, Pennsylvania and the Western Reserve of Ohio. Crops such as wheat could no longer be grown in the fields of Connecticut, yet the fertile lands of the ' west could easily support them. The emigrations grew to such a number after 1812, that a severe labor shortage was felt throughout the state (Cunningham, 53). As a result, the people of the Central Valley coped by turning to smaller and more specialized crops. ' Tobacco remained an important crop for the residents of South Windsor — not only because it was profitable, but because it did not deplete the soil as other crops such as wheat or flax did. Therefore, a kind of reverse trend took place, as smaller, individually ' owned farms were consolidated by larger landowners. Industry 1780-1850 South Windsor was not a manufacturing town. Despite some small concerns dotted along the Scantic River, the only manufacturing center was found at Broad Brook. There a ' small village was centered around the Phelps Manufacturing Company, where a woolen mill was established in 1847 (Stiles, 746). A number of small paper mills were found along Pleasant Valley Road— then known as Paper Mill Road. The diary of Abner Reed ' states that farming was the principal business and "of manufacturers there were none to my knowledge" (Stiles, 769). Reed also indicated that commerce consisted mostly of the shipment of tobacco to the West Indies. ' Rye remained an important crop for the northern part of town, and a number of distilleries sprang up to make use of the grain (Stiles, 770). Despite these small ' operations, South Windsor did not take part in the beginnings of the industrial revolution felt in the larger cities of the Central Valley area. ' Town Development 1780-1850 In 1768, the Second Church and Society separated from Windsor to form the independent ' town of East-Windsor. Nearly twenty years later, in 1786, the northernmost portion of that town was divided to form Ellington. The population of East Windsor continued to grow at a slow but steady pace. Once again, attendance at town meetings became difficult ' for the members who lived at a distance from the Meeting House on Main Street. In May of 1845, Harvey Elmer and others petitioned the General Assembly to allow the Town of ' South Windsor to divide from East Windsor. The new town included "all that part lying south of a line commencing at the mouth of the Scantic River, and running south...then east to Ellington Town line" (Stiles, 789). The designated area was approved without ' much hesitation by the General Assembly that same year, and South Windsor was incorporated. Town officers were chosen including Ebenezer Pinney as Town Clerk and Benoni King as Representative to the General Assembly (Stiles, 789). While most other towns in the state struggled with their formation and development during this period, East Windsor Hill, now part of South Windsor, had existed as a long standing, albeit changing community. ' South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 23 October 2007 r From 1800 to 1850, a large number of new religious groups were formed, and religion in r Connecticut was further decentralized. Anglicans reorganized themselves as Episcopalians, Roman Catholics established churches, and beginning in 1843, Jewish synagogues were built (Cunningham, 43). Following the great famine, Irish immigrants r began to move to Windsor in the early 1820s. The first Catholic mass was performed in Windsor in 1828, but a church wasn't built there until 1852 (Stiles, 776). A Methodist r Episcopal Meeting House was built at Warehouse Point in 1822 (Stiles, 744). A Baptist meeting house was built on Main Street, East (now South) Windsor, in April of 1823, much to the consternation of Reverend Thomas Robbins, who saw potential competition r from the new denomination (Stiles, 790). Robbins was pastor of the Congregational Church in East Windsor from 1808 to 1827 and an ardent Federalist, who had a penchant for history. He was one of the founders of the Connecticut Historical Society and was an r active member of the American Antiquarian Society (Stiles, 727). In 1845, the old Congregational Meeting House was dismantled and replaced by the present structure (Stiles, 730). One of the most unusual faiths practiced in South Windsor belonged to a r group known as the Millerites. Led by farmer William Miller, of upstate New York, believers readied themselves for a second coming on October 22, 1843 — a date that was calculated by Miller using the scripture as a guide. Dressed in ascension robes and r climbing to the top of the tallest roof or haystack to be closer to God at the moment of rapture, a good many of that faith were disappointed and the movement quickly died out. Politics,Education and Social Reform 1780-1850 r Federalists, members of what was known as the "Standing Order," maintained control r over much of the state throughout this period. The Federalist Party consisted of members of the powerful and privileged gentry. Opposition and resentment slowly grew against the party and finally reached its peak during the War of 1812 (Cunningham, 44). The r Federalists' negative reaction to the War and the refusal of Connecticut and Massachusetts to participate labeled the party as traitorous. The stratification of classes became even more pronounced after the war (Cunningham, ' 45). Urban masses of debtors and poor rural farmers were in stark contrast to those merchants and tradesmen who had profited from the battle. Poverty and epidemic disease ' were rampant throughout the state, but were most acutely felt in the urban centers of Hartford and New Haven(Cunningham, 45). Crime was most prevalent in the larger cities, but had an effect on the smaller towns of r the valley as well, since they were often the ones who hosted the institutions in which the criminals were held. Local criminals were held at the former Newgate Copper Mine in r East Granby until a new prison was built in Wethersfield in 1827. Poorhouses and poor farms were established to try to address the problem of poverty in rural areas. In 1851, the Bissell Farm near the ferry landing was sold to Elihu Drake, who, in turn, sold the r property to the Town. South Windsor operated the "Poor Farm," which later became known as the "Town Farm," out of this house until 1925. Occupants of the farms raised r South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 24 r October 2007 1 ' tobacco to pay for their keep. The Town Jail was also kept here in the rear ell; whoever was in charge of the Town Farm was also put in charge of the jail. The original "irons" ' made by Increase Clapp can still be seen in the "cells" (Burgdorf, 10). In this period, prior to 1853, all theatrical performances, musical recitals and circuses ' were banned by the Protestant Church (Cunningham, 48). This paints a rather grim picture of the time, but a large number of public libraries and art museums were established throughout the state, including the Wadsworth Atheneum, to provide more "appropriate" forms of entertainment(Cunningham, 48). The ls` School Society of South Windsor was composed of five districts — four on Main ' Street and one on Long Hill (Stiles, 754). As the population grew, the educational system expanded to meet the growing demand. By 1869, there were 12 school districts in South Windsor. These typical one-room houses were built around the middle of the nineteenth ' century and served the community until brick replacements were constructed near the turn of the twentieth century. Some of the houses remain throughout town, but one of the most notable, the District #5 school house, is located on Ellington Road and is now owned by the South Windsor Historical Society. In addition to the public schools, a private school known as the Academy was formed in ' 1800 by a small group of prominent citizens including Amasa Loomis, Dr. Elijah Fitch Reed and Aaron Bissell (Burgdorf, 43). It was housed on the 2nd floor of the District #1 public school building. The teachers consisted of Yale graduates whose goal was to ' prepare the young men (and some young ladies) of East Windsor Hill to follow in their footsteps. It was in a state of decline, when it was absorbed by the Theological Institute in 1835. The District school continued in use until 1900. ' The Theological Institute was formed in response to a conference of Congregational Ministers which was held in 1833. They called the conference to address the liberal changes taking place within the Congregational Church and to find ways to rectify the situation. Erastus Ellsworth, a native of South Windsor who made his fortune as a merchant in Brooklyn, NY, donated land for the building and the corner stone was laid in 1834 (Stiles, 757). Unfortunately, the Institute was doomed from the start by its isolated location and lack of social outlets. This was only exacerbated by the construction of ' railroads throughout the area except for South Windsor. The largest number of students attending at one time was 34. By 1854, it was in a state of decline and by 1865 the Institute had removed to Hartford (Stiles, 757) and is now known as the Hartford ' Seminary. The Chapel became the Dixieland nightclub in the 1920s, which drew crowds to see burlesque shows. William Wood, Erastus Ellsworth's grandson, was disturbed by this use of the premises, and repurchased the property 100 years after his grandfather had donated it to the Seminary. He gave the property to the town as the site of South Windsor's first high school. The Seminary buildings were demolished in 1935, but the bricks were recycled in the construction of Ellsworth High School on Main Street. ' South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 25 October 2007 A school of"Art and Design," according to historian Henry Stiles, was also operated by ' Deacon Abner Reed out of his engraving establishment along Main Street. Here he primarily taught his apprentices the art of engraving bank notes, which would often be left out on a line in his back yard to dry(Stiles, 755). ' Neo-Classical and Romantic Architecture 1780-1850 ' Wealthy merchants and members of the "Standing Order" demanded houses that spoke of their status and sophistication, and many high style Georgian and Federal houses can be ' found throughout the Central Valley. Federal style architecture, like most other influential building designs in early America, derived from an English precedent. In the period between 1790 and 1820, Architect Robert Adam began building simple yet , classically proportioned homes for the gentry of Great Britain. In America, Asher Benjamin created pattern books, which popularized the Federal style house in this country. The most notable stylistic detail in Federal building is a fanlight, which was ' placed above the front entry. Beyond this embellishment, entry-ways were often comprised of classical pilasters and tall entablatures (Cunningham, 68). Many of the early Federal houses were variations on the Colonial center hall plan, although some feature ' end chimneys. Brick versions of the Federal style are found throughout the towns lining the Connecticut River. The Eli Haskell House (1812) at 1909 Main Street, the Aaron Bissell House (1813) at 1891 Main Street and the Epaphras Bissell House (1816) at 1837 ' Main Street, are all excellent examples of this type. The Georgian style (1700-1800) persisted through this period in the Central Valley, with ' the addition of Palladian design elements. One important surviving example in South Windsor is the John Watson House at 1876 Main Street. It is the only remaining three- story Georgian house in the Connecticut Valley and is an excellent high style model. , Georgian elements such as hipped roofs and quoining were also often combined with Federal details. The gable-end version of this style was most popular after 1800 and was usually three bays wide with an off-center doorway. These precursors of the subsequent ' Greek Revival style have more delicate detailing. The Greek Revival style was to become the most popular building style in the country ' after 1830. This style was influenced by the country's fascination with the Greek democratic ideal. Classically inspired design elements, based on the pediments, columns and pilasters found on Greek temples, provided inspiration for this style. While often ' seen in public buildings throughout the Connecticut Valley, residential varieties were most prevalent during this period. The outstanding example of the style locally is the Jonathan Cogswell house at 1752 Main Street, built for the Chair of Ecclesiastical ' History at the Theological Institute. It later housed the President of the Institute, Bennet Tyler. The dominant pedimented portico, with massive Doric columns, reflects the influence of a Greek Temple. The house at 1713,built for a Reverend William Thompson ' of the Theological Institute in 1847, is a more modest example of the style. South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 26 ' October 2007 In the 1840s, a number of Romantic styles, such as Gothic Revival and Italian Villa, were popularized through Andrew Jackson Downing's book Cottage Residences. The Gothic ' Revival style utilized steeply pitched gables and tall, narrow lancet windows. Another proponent of the style was Alexander Jackson Davis who designed the house at 660 Main Street, constructed in 1851 for Commodore Charles Greene. He also designed the "Castle"portion of the Wadsworth Atheneum. IV. Industrial and Urban Growth Period 1850-1930 The Industrial and Urban Growth Period is primarily characterized by the population explosion that took place in Connecticut's urban centers. As immigrants flooded into ' Connecticut's cities to work semi-skilled and unskilled jobs, the populations not only grew but the demographics of many cities experienced a significant shift. Over 70 percent of the population of the Central Valley were first or second generation ' immigrants by the year 1930 (Cunningham, 86). The Civil War, while a boost to the industrial economy of the state, cost many lives throughout the Central Valley. Abolitionist activity prior to the war grew in Hartford and New Haven, and strong support of the Union went relatively unchallenged. Agriculture was still the most important way to make a living in Connecticut at the ' beginning of this period, but as manufacturing and industry grew, an increasing number of farms suffered from lack of labor and land. The Agricultural Experiment Station was opened in 1875 to try to devise solutions for the many problems faced by the Central ' Valley's farmers. Advances both in transportation — such as automobiles, trolley cars, and bridges, and in ' communication—with the invention of the radio and telephone, had major effects on the lives of those living in the Central Valley. The trolley in South Windsor began its runs up and down Main Street in 1902. South Windsor did not feel the effects of industry to the same degree as the larger cities of the Central Valley such as Hartford or New Haven; perhaps this was due, in part, to ' the fact that the railroad came so late to this town. The Central Connecticut Railroad was chartered in 1871. The line running from East Hartford to Springfield was opened in 1876. This "Springfield Line"was leased to the New York and New England Railroad in ' 1880 and later became a part of the vast New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad network. There were three train stations in town by 1888: East Windsor Hill, Burnham's and South Windsor(Stiles, 788). ' The effect of the automobile on American culture during this period was Just beginning to be felt, but it was the streetcar that would dominate the world of transportation around the turn of the twentieth century. Early transportation methods were slow and at the mercy of poor roadway conditions. Coach lines operated before the electrified trolley line was completed in 1902. Trolley lines were used for shopping, picnics, and by commuters. The ' South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 27 October 2007 streetcar was an affordable alternative that was available to all classes and allowed people ' to live at a distance from their places of employment. The trolley not only changed the way people commuted into work, but also how they went about their every day lives. People no longer needed to rely on local shops or door-to-door sellers since shopping ' could all now be done at once in the city. One of the main trolley routes between Hartford and Springfield ran the length of Main Street in South Windsor. Of note is the fact that ' the cross streets ending at Main Street provided the names for the station stops (e.g., Newberry Road was known as Station 43). As the period drew to a close, trolleys were replaced by automobiles and buses as the preferred means of transportation. ' Between the years of 1903 and 1913, the trunk line highways system was established in Connecticut (Connecticut Department of Transportation: 100 Year Anniversary Online), ' and soon after, in the 1920s, roads throughout the state were straightened and repaired. During the 1920s there were over 250,000 cars in the state. Many road "improvements" required the demolition of the historic fabric in cities and towns. ' Civil War 1861-1864 During the 1850s, Connecticut was in political turmoil. While the questions of the Union ' and slavery remained subjects of intense debate, most in Connecticut were firmly behind the Union or Republican cause by 1861. Abolitionism grew in small but strong pockets ' across the state and was spurred on by the 4mistad incident in 1839. Slavery ended in Connecticut in 1848; but blacks were still forced to live on the fringes of white society. African-Americans in Connecticut continued to experience discrimination and inequality ' in education, employment and public services throughout this period. The Republican Party in the state was against slavery and invited Presidential Candidate , Abraham Lincoln to speak in Hartford. Lincoln spoke to passionate crowds also in Middletown, New Haven, Waterbury and Norwich, and easily won the state's vote in the election in 1860. Lincoln's visit to the Connecticut Valley further solidified the people of , Connecticut behind the Republican cause. Thirty eight South Windsor men volunteered to fight in the war by 1862. Women of the town formed the Union Soldier's Aid Society to make blankets and bandages for soldiers. ' Over 50,000 men were sent to fight from Connecticut and almost 20,000 ended up as casualties (Cunningham, 88). As the war progressed and casualties to Connecticut troops ' mounted, anti-black sentiment rose in the state. Further unrest came after the national draft was introduced in 1862. In 1863, William H. Gilbert was the only South Windsor man who had been drafted by the Union Army. He had tried to enlist, but had been , rejected because he was hearing-impaired (Stiles, 798). Many men from Connecticut fled to Canada to escape the draft. The following year, when the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, support for Lincoln fell sharply. ' South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 28 , October 2007 ' After the war, support for Connecticut's African-Americans was all but nonexistent. Jobs and educational opportunities were still beyond the reach of most. By law, all of the ' state's public schools were integrated in 1869, but much stood in the way of racial equality in Connecticut. ' Immigration Urbanization/Changing Communities 1850-1930 Industry quickly became the focus of life in Connecticut's urban communities. Despite its size, Connecticut ranked fourth among the industrialized states in 1850. The cities of Hartford and New Haven were particularly affected by this surge in growth. South Windsor's close proximity to Hartford, coupled with advancements in transportation, ' opened it up to a new demographic of inhabitants — those who commuted to jobs in the city. ' The need for immigrant labor to fill the ever-increasing jobs in factories (and in South Windsor's tobacco fields) meant that the mostly Anglo-American population of South Windsor would experience a drastic change, as Irish, Italian, German and Polish ' immigrants all began to move into Hartford and its surrounding towns. Between the years of 1840 and 1850 the state's population jumped from 60,000 to 370,000 (Cunningham, 95). Approximately one tenth of this new population consisted of ' immigrant workers. Changes to communities such as South Windsor were thus inevitable. ' Prior to the start of the Civil War, Irish workers came to South Windsor to work in the tobacco fields. A large number of Irish families settled on King Street (now North King Street). According to former Main Street resident Barney Daley, the road was known as Cork Lane at the time. As the farmers became wealthier, they also required servants in their homes and on their farms; these positions were so popular among the Irish that, as Daley said, "The Irish Brogue was as common as the Yankee twang" (Daley, 36). In ' addition to the Irish population, according to Daley, there was a large number of Lithuanians living in and around South Windsor. ' As the Town continued to grow, an increased need for schools became apparent. Schools were centralized into multi-story, brick buildings, such as the Union School on Main ' Street, which was built in 1908-1909 to replace three one-room schoolhouses. Public utilities were expanded to meet the increasing demand that was placed on the ' town's resources, and rural towns were ushered into the modern world by the turn of the twentieth century. In South Windsor, electric lights illuminated Main Street by 1916 and the rest of the town soon after(Daley, 21). ' South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 29 October 2007 Recreation and Leisure Time 1850-1930 ' The massive expansion of cities during this time created the idea of the "country retreat". Regulation of working hours for the first time in history left a new class of people with ' leisure time. Both the wealthy and working classes enjoyed the many parks that were built in Central Valley cities during this period. Hartford's Bushnell Park is just one such example. Yacht clubs, golf clubs and resorts were opened throughout the state. The Western Uplands and the eastern coast both served as popular vacation spots. Available income and affordable transportation by trolley car allowed for the idea of the ' "day trip." The "Tea Tray" was a local restaurant operated by Miss Augusta Graves and Miss Mary Hovey out of the house at 1752 Main Street(Burgdorf, 53). ' Agriculture and Rural Life 1850-1930 Between the Civil War and World War I, agriculture in Connecticut became much more , specialized. This specialization came about as a way to compete with the large-scale producers located in the western and southern United States. Western competition forced ' many farmers to abandon their farms, resulting in a drop in the overall acreage in cultivated lands in the state. Concurrently, many of the forests that had been cleared for cultivation were again growing into woodlands. , At the same time that agricultural acreage was shrinking, the explosive growth of cities in the Northeast provided Connecticut farmers with the opportunity to market perishable , items such as fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. The local Grange, known as "The Patrons of Husbandry,"was formed in 1867 (Daley, 17). Crops such as broad leaf tobacco remained relevant to the economy of the Central Valley throughout the twentieth century. In fact, it was known as "Tobacco Valley." Tobacco was the mainstay of South Windsor. Commercial fertilizers and modern farming ' techniques quickly improved the variety and quality of the crops. Jean E. Shepard, Sr., founded the J.E. Shepard Company in 1888 and quickly became one , of the most prominent growers in the Valley. Just after the turn of the century, shade tobacco was grown in South Windsor. South Windsor's rich soil easily supported this delicate crop. Shade tobacco was grown beneath a tent, which resulted in a thinner and , smoother leaf. This became the wrapper of choice for fine cigar manufacturers and provided a further boost to the tobacco business. Victorian and Early Twentieth Century Revival Architecture 1850-1930 , Innovations in construction techniques made the building of houses much easier than ' before. Balloon framing provided a quick and less expensive alternative to timber framing. Decorative elements were mass-produced by machine, and construction South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 30 ' October 2007 ' materials became easily transportable by rail or road. This led to a tremendous variety of building stock of Connecticut. ' The time between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the Great Depression brought a flood of picturesque styles and elaborate ornamentation to the building of residential structures. The industrial revolution also created a level of wealth not seen before and with that came an increased need to display that wealth with an elaborately constructed home. ' Italianate styles found throughout Connecticut are identified by a flat or hipped roof, hooded or arched windows, commonly grouped, and wide eaves supported by scrolled ' brackets. Often a portico is found over the entry. One of the most notable in South Windsor is the John Ellery Tyler House at 1862 Main Street. Residential Victorian architecture is characterized by elaborate surface finishes, ornamentation and ' asymmetrical plans. Variations on the Victorian type can be seen in the Queen Anne, Stick and Shingle styles. Queen Anne's were often rambling, asymmetrically planned structures that featured turrets, bay windows and intersecting roofs. An excellent example of the style can be found at 1063 Main Street — the John P. Jones House. A vernacular version of a Queen Anne house is found at the Judge Ralph M. Grant House at 1803. The Stick style used trim boards that served to articulate the structure's framing system, while ' the Shingle style featured finely crafted shingle exteriors. All included porches trimmed with what was quite often elaborate millwork. Another style known as the "Second Empire" which incorporates a mansard roof and bracketed eaves was popular in the period between 1860 and 1875. The John Newberry King house at 793 is a good example of the style. ' Bungalows and Craftsman houses were also popular housing styles for suburban communities after 1904. The Bungalow originated in California shortly after the turn of the century and quickly spread throughout the nation. Characterized by low pitched roofs ' and overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails, tapered porch columns and heavy massing, these homes shared many of the same stylistic elements, but Craftsmen houses also focused on natural motifs and finely carved wooden interior details. The Ida King ' House near the Masonic Lodge at 1569 Main Street is a typical Craftsman Bungalow. One interesting example of this style is reportedly a Sears Catalog home and can be ' found at 763 Main Street. Sears homes were part of a movement of pre-fabricated "kit" homes that were assembled onsite. ' V. Modern Period 1930-2004 Although World War lI brought about a brief boost in the State's industrial economy, manufacturing establishments continued to close their doors in Connecticut. This period brought drastic changes to the economy seen in the extremes of the Great Depression and the boom following World War 11. The advancements in transportation and the further decentralization of industry resulted in suburbanization. This mass movement of people ' South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 31 October 2007 away from the nation's city centers brought fundamental changes to the social structure ' of cities and towns. National trends saw people moving out of the cities and into suburbs such as South , Windsor. Like most other semi-rural communities, South Windsor's population increased the most during the period following World War II. Route 5, and Interstates 84 ' and 91 changed the way people traveled, and provided quick access to Hartford for those working in the City's flourishing insurance industry. As populations fled the cities beginning in the 1950s, the businesses that they supported followed suit. Connecticut's cities declined as the ever-growing middle-class developed the state's towns. The demographics of the state shifted as cities such as New Haven and , Hartford became home to new immigrant populations and many blacks fleeing from the segregated South. The resources of the cities soon became depleted without the steady tax base once provided by industry. School systems suffered, crime escalated, and , building stock became dilapidated, while at the same time those who fled the cities were putting all of their resources into the small towns they now called home. The Great Depression and Wartime Recovery 1930-2004 ' Unemployment in Connecticut between 1930 and 1931 rose from 7.5% to 25%. ' Businesses closed throughout the state, industry in the Central Valley suffered and banks were liquidated. National Relief programs such as the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) provided employment , and assistance to the variously unemployed. Many of Connecticut's town halls and post offices were built during this time. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) employed over 30,000 Connecticut men prior to 1942. The CCC helped to improve the state park ' and forest system and made it suitable for recreational use. Connecticut industry was helped by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) and the National Industrial Recovery Act. The positive effects of these programs were undone by two disasters in ' the Central Valley region: the Flood of 1936 and the Hurricane of 1938, both of which had dire effects on the economy and morale of central Connecticut. In South Windsor, most of the tobacco crops were ruined by the storms (Daley, 32). Under the WPA, dikes ' were built to protect the City of Hartford from the Connecticut River(Cunningham 124). World War 11 brought relief in the form of a boost to the area's industrial operations. In ' the Central Valley in particular, companies such as Pratt&Whitney, which has a fuel cell division in South Windsor, made large contributions to the war effort. The many metal processing industries of the Central Valley were temporarily saved from extinction by the ' production needs of World War 1I. South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 32 ' October 2007 ' Industry 1930-2004 ' During World War II, Connecticut industry temporarily regained its strength and production climbed to higher than pre-Depression levels. The Central Valley was the leader of this recovery with companies such as Pratt & Whitney. The production of war- related items such as metals, shipbuilding, munitions and aircraft throughout the area helped the state recover from its manufacturing lull; most of the manufacturing in South Windsor, even those companies that were operating on a small scale, had been closed by ' the time the war started. Although small manufacturing operations remain today, the Town of South Windsor is almost completely without industry. Services account for 37 percent of the total revenues compared to only nine percent that comes from manufacturing and just fewer than four percent from agriculture. Tobacco no longer rules the economy in South Windsor. The ' Grand List is topped by Evergreen Walk Lifestyle Shops, an open-air mall located on Buckland Road. South Windsor has become predominantly a suburban and residential community. ' Agriculture 1930-2004 ' Between 1930 and 1965, there was a dramatic loss of farmland in Connecticut. As property taxes increased, many farmers in the Central Valley were forced to subdivide or sell their property to developers. During World War II, large numbers of immigrant ' laborers came from the West Indies and Puerto Rico to the area to serve as temporary labor in the fields. Southern college students were often recruited to work in the fields in the summer as well. One notable Morehouse student, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., spent ' the summers of 1944 and 1947 on a Simsbury tobacco farm. By 1955, the J. E. Shepard Company processed more than 1,000,000 pounds of tobacco ' each year, gathered from over 550 acres of land, making it the biggest cash crop in the Connecticut Valley. The company served major cigar manufacturers around the world and had a history of employees working for a long time in the business. Jean "Red" Shepard, Jr., staged Cigar Harvest Festivals in 1951 and 1952 to promote cigar smoking, which he thought was losing ground to cigarettes; tobacco "queens" were crowned at ' each event. In 1968, an estimated 2,250 acres were being cultivated for tobacco in South Windsor. ' Two thousand acres were used to grow broadleaf and Havana seed — the two types commonly grown for cigar binders and wrappers; and two hundred and fifty acres were used to grow Cuban or "shade" tobacco. Since that time, the volume of tobacco grown ' has decreased and many of the farms have been abandoned. In 2004, South Windsor gained 3.3 percent of its annual revenue from agriculture, which is still above the state average of 1.1 percent. ' South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 33 October 2007 Suburbanization 1930-2004 ' After World War I, the automobile made it possible to commute the eight miles to Hartford. Soon subdivisions cropped up all over town in place of open farmland. To meet ' the increasing demand on the school systems, by 2004 South Windsor had five Elementary Schools, one Middle School and one High School. , Another problem faced by growing suburbs was the destruction of historic properties and the creation of suburban sprawl. To combat the problem in town, the South Windsor ' Historic District was formed in 1970. It includes the houses from 1909 Main Street to 1533 Main Street and the houses on both sides of Ferry Lane. The district boundaries extend for 600 feet on either side of Main Street. Today, widespread development threatens South Windsor's historic resources as the town continues to grow as a suburb of Hartford. , Transportation When the trolley lines stopped running in 1932, those living in the newly established ' streetcar suburbs turned to the automobile as their means of transportation. During this time, the railroads were also suffering. Buses and trucks had replaced the need to move , large numbers of people and freight. The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad went out of business after a brief boost in business seen during World War II. As a suburb of Hartford, the people of South Windsor had an obvious need for ' transportation in and out of the Capital City. Route 5 was commissioned in 1926 and reached from New Haven to the Canadian border in Vermont. Originally, Route 5 traveled down Main Street until 1942, when it was to be widened to a four-lane highway. Protests from residents of Main Street moved the construction of the four-lane highway to the east, the current site of John Fitch Boulevard. During the 1950s, as the Cold War ' brought the subject of National Defense to the forefront, the need for strategic highways was recognized. The Federal Highway Act of 1956 ranked routes by their importance and established an interstate highway system. By 1958, 1-84 was built from Danbury to Hartford and 1-91 was built from Hartford to Springfield. In 1968, 1-291, originally envisioned as a ring road, was planned to provide a direct connection between South Windsor and Interstates 84 and 91. ' Modern Architecture Predictably, there are not many examples of modern architecture along Main Street in ' South Windsor, but significant examples of the International Style can be found in neighboring Hartford's skyline. The International Style in America was proliferated by a ' group of European expatriates including Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, Adolf Meyer and Mies van der Rohe, all of whom came to the US during the 1930s. The focus of the South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 34 ' October 2007 1 International style was simplicity of form coupled with the complete removal of all superfluous embellishment. The form of the structure itself was the main source of 1 design for each building. Although some examples of this style can be found in various rural and suburban 1 communities throughout Connecticut, South Windsor remained fairly conservative in its choice of building styles. New variations on the Cape or New England Farmhouse are seen throughout the Town's suburban streets, often with the addition of Georgian 1 embellishments. The Post Modern building style can also be found in many homes built after 1970. These structures incorporate elements of the Colonial, Stick and Shingle styles with a basic center-hall Farmhouse core. Perhaps most closely associated with suburban living, the Raised Ranch and Split-Level California Ranch are represented in many of South ' Windsor's newer neighborhoods. i 1 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 1 1 South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 35 October 2007 1 NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATIONS ' Many of the Town's tobacco barns and farmland are being lost due to commercial and , residential development. Many are simply dilapidated and are disappearing due to neglect. Upon completion of this report it is recommended that a survey of South Windsor's historic tobacco barns be completed to determine the possibility of completing , a themed National Register Study that would encompass the Town's tobacco farming legacy. The Phase I portion of this survey included most of the Town's two established historic ' districts. They are as follows: East Windsor Hill Historic District — Roughly bounded by the Scantic River, John Fitch Boulevard (U.S. Route 5), Strong Road, and the Connecticut River (added June 30, 1986). ' Windsor Farms Historic District — Roughly bounded by Strong Road, U. S, Route 5, Interstate 291, and the Connecticut River(added May 11, 1986). The structures included in the two National Register Districts are listed at the end of this report. The key to the designations is: C = a Conforming structure, which is included in ' the National Register; and NC = a Non-Conforming structure which is not included in the National Register. The Second Phase of this survey will encompass the remainder of the town. South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 36 , October 2007 t ' SITES RELATED TO WOMEN AND MINORITIES Many of the most prominent families of South Windsor kept slaves. The Old Burying ' Ground contains the graves of twenty-two black slaves, which date between 1736 and 1768. Of these men and women: eleven belonged to the Wolcotts, two to the Cooks, three to the Elmers, two to the Rockwells and one to the Ellsworths. Two are not related to any ' family (Stiles, 434). The Reverend Timothy Edwards also kept "[a] negro Tom" who tended his fires and performed various household tasks (Stiles, 555). In 1785, slavery was abolished in Connecticut. During the American Revolution manumission was granted to ' any male slave who enlisted in place of his owner, and such was the case in early Windsor. A man known only to us as "Prince Negro" went to war in place of his master, Tom Foster, in 1777 and was killed in battle that same year. Prince willed his estate to a ' servant of the Reverend Joseph Perry of South Windsor, Flora, and their son Prince, so that he might"purchase his freedom" (Burgdorf, 70). ' One of the most prominent African-American residents and the town's first African- American doctor was Primus Manumit. Primus was a slave of Dr. Alexander Wolcott, of Windsor, and served as his assistant on his rounds, helping to move patients, and set ' broken bones. He gained a great deal of medical knowledge and often prepared Dr. Wolcott's medicaments. He also acquired some Latin, probably used in Wolcott's written prescriptions. He was freed by Wolcott and moved to East Windsor where he served as a ' doctor and lived in a house located behind the Eliakim Cook House, now standing at 1595 Main Street. The only remaining description of Dr. Primus is found in Stiles, who states that he was a, "large, good-looking man, quite gentlemanly, and had considerable ' practice." (Stiles, 458) His name also appears in a list of "Windsor Soldiers in the Revolutionary Service" as: Primus ("Doctor"), colored. (Stiles, 368) ' Despite the fact that throughout South Windsor's history women worked tirelessly both inside and outside of the home to keep themselves and their families, there are few ' women mentioned in the existing histories of South Windsor. A number of women owned land and homes in Colonial South Windsor and South Windsor's first minister, the Reverend Timothy Edwards, believed in providing his ten daughters with education as ' well as his son. One South Windsor woman, a Mrs. Prout, was known as the first person to roll a cigar in the United States, having done so in 1801. Although the location of her home is lost to history, we know that she and her husband resided along Main Street. The Watson sisters of East Windsor Hill, Amelia Montague (1856-1934) and Edith Sarah (1861-1944), were well-known, successful artists in their day: Amelia recognized for her translucent watercolors; Edith, who went on to master the new art of photography, for her ' South Windsor Historical Overview Fitzgerald&Halliday, Inc. 37 October 2007 studies of working women in Canada. A high point in Amelia's career was when she ' illustrated an anniversary edition of Thoreau's Cape Cod. Acclaim came to Edith with the publication of Romantic Canada, illustrated with her photographs. Wood Memorial ' Library on Main Street has more than a dozen of their paintings and drawings, mostly of local scenes, on permanent display. The sisters were the great grandchildren of successful merchant, John Watson, whose large Georgian colonial still dominates the ' Main Street at East Windsor Hill. Mary Janette Elmore, a seventh generation descendent of Edward Elmore, one of the first ' settlers on Windsor land east of the Great River, is remembered today because of a little book of "reminiscences" she wrote in 1911 about growing up in 19th century South Windsor. Educated far better then most women of her time, her account is a well written and intimate portrayal of daily life and local happenings, from details on how to bake in a bee-hive oven to the hazards of the blizzard of 1888. A woman of substance, she continued to run the family farm on Long Hill Road after her father's death, and her ' brother's career as legislator and banker took him to Hartford. Her book was printed as Long Hill, South Windsor, Connecticut, in 1976 by the South Windsor Historical Society. Another woman writer of South Windsor history was Miss Ruth Sperry, who worked ' with Henry Stiles to complete two volumes of The History of Ancient Windsor (Stiles, 9). Two women from South Windsor were among the first female physicians in the United ' States. Both were trained for their profession at the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Edla Sperry (1843-1880), whose parents had purchased the , Bissell Tavern in East Windsor Hill, attended boarding school at the Connecticut Literary Institute in Suffield, and then spent three years studying medicine in Philadelphia. After receiving her MD in 1871, she went abroad for one year to Paris, where she was given , permission to work at La Maternite hospital, only the second American woman to do so. On her return to the United States, she established a practice in Pittsburgh, PA, which lasted a mere eight years due to her untimely death in 1880 (Stiles, II, 696). ' Mary Tudor (1842-1917) followed a slightly different path, earning her MD in 1892 at the age of 52. After completing her schooling in South Windsor, Mary attended Miss Draper's Seminary in Hartford. In 1868, she spent six months at the Bishop Potter Memorial House in Philadelphia, training for home mission work. While there, she was introduced to the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania, but it was more than twenty , years later that she applied to enter their degree program. Upon graduation, she returned to South Windsor and opened her practice from the parlor of her home where she practiced until her death at age 75. She was the first woman doctor in South Windsor.

The fagade of the building is 3/3 bays wide with an offset entrance topped by a flat-roofed portico supported by scrolled brackets. Windows are 6/6 double-hung sash with plain trim. There is a bay located on the southern elevation and a two-story addition at the rear of the house. The house has been clad in 0 asbestos siding which obscures many of the original features. fZ cti. it 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER ' 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE The Italianate style is identified in residential applications through the use of wide, overhanging, bracketed eaves and tall, narrow windows often with arched or crowned hoods. The windows often are grouped into pairs or triplets with continuous hoods and lintels and the Zroofs are often flat or hipped. This style came into vogue in the middle of the nineteenth century as part of the Romantic Movement. As opposed to the classicism favored at the jL- beginning of the century, this style was much less formal and the many variations found throughout America were patterned on variations of the Picturesque movement first seen in England. During the 1850s, Andrew Jackson Downing helped to popularize this style through his widely read, illustrated pattern books. The District has no high-style examples. Vernacular versions consist of shallow-hip roof with heavy overhanging cornice, rectangular windows, which are sometimes graduated in height, are arranged in the traditional three-bay pattern with ' off-center doorway.

Greek Revival architecture was Zinitially associated with the rise of a middle class in America which provided a new level of wealth among the general population. This wealth led to increaserd education, which when jZ coupled with recent archaeological finds relating to the classical world resulted in a public Z fervor for all things classically inspired. The style is indicated by a low-pitched gabled or C2 hipped roof with emphasized cornice lines, a porch or portico supported by prominent square or round columns, and an entry with a norrow line of transom lights surrounding the door. The corner boards found on this house are also indicative of the style. Greek Revival-style homes, such as this one often also featured a full Temple front.

The exaggeration of classical elements,such as extremely large broken z pediments or heavily elaborated entrances, common on original Colonial homes and is indicative of the Colonial Revival style. Typically incorporated into this style are elements of Georgian,Federal and Dutch Colonial LL construction. Today it remains a popular building style and a multitude of variations can be seen throughout the 9 town. Modern variations (dating from after 1940,such as this house) often exhibit a pared-down use of detail and ornament,but retain a "Colonial" aesthetic.

Review of the WPA survey indicates that many of the original details such as a main cornice featuring carved molding and guttae modillions have been obscured by the aluminum siding. 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER ' 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE , New England Colonials are straightforward examples of the post-medieval construction favored by 0 the English settlers in their own native country. The one room, two-story, gable-roofed, homes Z were often characterized by a prominent chimney located on a gable end and small irregularly spaced casement windows. Some variants are gambrel-roofed. This style home often began as one room and chamber and expanded upon as families grew or as the family prospered. A curious regional element is the "coffin door" or side entry that was often reserved for family use. These homes are commonly represented by a two-story, I-house form (one room deep by two rooms wide) with central chimneys. This style was also a variation in the form of a single story hall-and-parlor house. The windows were typically symmetrical around a central entrance and consisted of six-over-six or six-over-nine lights. These homes also have a centrally placed ' chimney which helped to combat New England winters. In some homes, adhering to seventeenth century design, the second floor projects over the first to form a jetty. "Saltboxes" were also formed by adding a shed-roofed extension to the rear of these homes. In the early 1900's, the ' Johnson family lived here. Alfred F. Burham purchased this house from the Johnsons in 1902 or 1903. Burnham's son, Alfred B. Burham inherited the house in 1946.

' a 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE ' Typically asymmetrical in plan, Queen Anne houses were popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Steeply pitched hipped roofs with irregular, intersecting roof lines often are the t� hallmark of these homes. The porches can be single and wraparound or partial and located ' Z in a number of spots. The embellishment on this type of house came from the sheathing 0 which is often a patterned shingle or multi-colored brick and also from the decorative u- elements on the porches such as turned spindles. The placement and style of the windows z on these houses are varied as well and serve as another form of decoration. This house is , �7 a modified version of the original plan. The siding and additions have altered the original shape of the structure, but the original massing can still be discerned.

A corner stone found beneath the porch dates from 1788. Lu The first owner was Arodi Wolcott(1760-1805). Wolcott,who was a part of one of Windsor's oldest and largest founding Ufamilies married Ruth Pitkin here in 1789.The house was sold by Arodi Wolcott to Thomas Alexander in 1800. In 1874, , Charles Riordan sold the house to Mrs. Charles Riordan. It passed to their son,Patrick Riordan(owner during the WPA zsurvey)and then to his wife Mrs Patrick Riordan. It next passed to the Russo Brothers and finally to Richard and Beatrice N Grigorian in 1979.They undertook a massive restoration/renovation of the property in 1980-1981. During the renovation the Gregorians removed the plaster around the chimney,removed dormer windows and replaced them with three skylights at the rear of the house. This restored the original appearance of the house from the street. An existing porch was also removed and all of the windows were restored to the original 12/12 configuration.The original fireplaces were exposed along with raised paneling in the living and dining rooms. The original flooring remains in most of the rooms and the original steps leading out to the porch area were removed and used as hearthstones for the fireplaces in the living room and kitchen.

It is unique in that it is a rare example of a surviving r nineteenth century,wood-framed industrial structure. The large,box-shaped building is incredibly simple in design. There is no extraneous ornamentation and openings are arranged symmetrically on all elevations. Windows throughout are 6/6 double-hung sash with plain trim, except for on the first story where they are shorter to ' accommodate the banked position of the structure. A set of wooden,double doors with four-light windows in the oupper half are located on the southern elevation at ground level.On the southeastern corner of the building there is a metal fire escape leading from the third floor down to the ground. At the rear(eastern)elevation there is a a. single-story addition with a large metal smokestack that perhaps was a drying room. The entire structure is clad in in unpainted wood shingles. The tallest structure in the area,asix-story steel water tower is located at the rear of the warehouse. i 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE , Although it is now abandoned,this warehouse was at the heart of a busy tobacco business during the early twentieth ' century. Tobacco production was at it's peak during the early twentieth century and the J. E. Shepard Company was w South Windsor's largest grower. Tobacco was grown throughout Connecticut's Tobacco Valley in the eighteenth z century but the trade didn't fully develop until growers began to specialize in the Connecticut Broadleaf variety. Due to its superior taste, broadleaf tobacco was used almost exclusively to wrap high quality cigars. Soon after its LL development nearly every farmer in South Windsor grew"Broadleaf'. Many continued to grow this popular variety 2 even after the new shade variety was cultivated. Numerous warehouses such as this one were constructed throughout <n South Windsor for the purpose of sorting and storing cured tobacco.

The gabled roof is set parallel to the street and there is a massive brick chimney located centrally along the ridge. Z There is only a slight overhang of the roof at the eaves and no overhang at the rake. The facade appears to have once been a symmetrical 5/5 bays wide, however, a tripartite window has been added in the southernmost bay of the first story. The doorway is flanked by pilasters and is topped by a wide entablature. A four light transom is set above the paneled door. Windows throughout are 12/12 ' p double-hung sash with plain trim. There is a shed roofed addition on the first story of the southern melevation and a two story hipped roof addition at the rear. The house is clad in aluminum siding and rests on a continuous stone foundation. On the interior there are eight working fireplaces and original paneling. A dog-legged staircase in the front hall leads to the second story and a built-in ocorner cupboard can be found in the dining room. The dining room walls have raised paneling and the keeping room has two fireplaces and a beehive oven. There are four bedrooms on the second story, of which two have retained their raised paneling. 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER Augustus Fitch 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE ' This house was built by Lieutenant Joseph Fitch around 1760. The date 1764 is carved in the 4? foundation stone, but since the house burned to the ground shortly after and was immediately rebuilt, it is unclear which incarnation this stone refers to. Many outbuildings including a store and distillery were associated with this property. During the Revolutionary War, Hessian soldiers were billeted here (among other homes in the Town) . Horse races were often held to keep the prisoners amused and this house sometimes served as the finish line. Betting was a ' common practice. Ebenezer Reed stated that "he had seen more guineas counted out to the winner on the door steps of M. Pinney's house than he could carry in his hat." Augustus Fitch and his brother John Fitch - inventor of the steamboat lived here for a short time. John Fitch completed the first successful steamboat run on the Delaware River on August 22, 1787. , Augustus' son, John Fields Fitch, operated the store and distillery. The house passed through the Hitchcock and Wolcott families before is was sold to Ebenezer Pinney around 1830. The Fitch store was moved back from the street to a knoll and converted into a dwelling house. The , "Fitch Farm" also once had a tenement house, built ca. 1870, which stood west of the main building. Mr and Mrs. Joseph Kyc purchased the property in 1964.

There are wide overhangs of the roof at the eaves and rake which are lined with wide bands of trim. The gable end is pedimented and there is a single window located high in the gable end. The fagade is 3/3 bays wide with an offset entrance. A single-story addition v has been built on the southern elevation and a hipped roof porch covers the entrance to the main , z block and extends to this addition. It is supported by Doric columns and is lined by a 0 balustrade featuring turned balusters. The entrance is flanked by full-length side lights and a is topped by a transom. Windows throughout are 1/1 double-hung sash replacements and the house raj has been clad in synthetic siding which obscures all original features although it mimics the Ujoriginal wide frieze band and cornerposts. ' 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE This style became so popular in this time period in America that it came to be known as L11 the National Style. Greek Revival architecture was associated with the new wealth and the 3 public fervor for all things classically inspired. It is indicated by a low-pitched gabled ' < 4 or hipped roof with emphasized cornice lines, a porch or portico supported by prominent U square or round columns, and an entry with a narrow line of transom lights surrounding the i—Z door. At times there are also pilasters on the fagade of the home as well. Greek C4 Revival-style homes were executed in wood, brick and stone and sometimes featured a full , Temple front. Although this house has been covered in aluminum siding, many of the original features seems to have been merely covered over with the synthetic siding which mimics the original design. , Town of South Windsor Assessor's Records, UJI Wood Memorial Library Historic House Files it '0 t►3 PHOTOGRAPHER DATE Nancy Gardner 11/2004 D 1, VIEW NEGATIVE ON FILE CL 'lEast Wood Memorial Library NAME DATE m Stacey S.

Steeply pitched hipped roofs with irregular,intersecting roof lines often are the hallmark of these homes. The porches can be single w and wraparound or partial and located in a number of spots. The embellishment on this type of house came from the z sheathing which is often a patterned shingle or multi-colored brick and also from the decorative elements on the porches such as turned spindles. The placement and style of the windows on these houses are varied as well and LL serve as another form of decoration. z t9 Torn of South Windsor Assessor's Records, ' Wood Memorial Library Historic House Files w 9 a E f O CO f f 'PHOTOGRAPHER DATE o Nancy Gardner 111/2004 O VIEW NEGATIVE ON FILE 2 a Northwest Wood Memorial Library 1 ' NAME DATE r oStacey S.

The overall effect of the assimilation of a number of traditional w building types is meant to evoke the New England Farmhouse type or Colonial home. The exaggeration of classical z elements, such as extremely large broken pediments or heavily elaborated entrances,common on original Colonial homes and is indicative of the Colonial Revival style. Typically incorporated into this style are elements of Georgian, LL Federal and Dutch Colonial constriction. Today it remains a popular building style and a multitude of variations can 2 be seen throughout South Windsor. Modern variations(dating from after 1940)often exhibit a pared-down use of detail and ornament,but retain a"Colonial" aesthetic.

The arched window in the gable end is a typical Italianate 0 feature, while the frontward-facing gable, symmetry of the openings and the wide ' z 4 molding around the entrance are all hallmarks of Greek Revival architecture. if Farmhouses such as these are seen throughout rural New England, the purity of the form Z and lack of ostentatious decoration made this style of house ubiquitous.

Steeply pitched hipped roofs with irregular, intersecting roof lines often are the hallmark of these homes. The porches can be single w and wraparound or partial and located in a number of spots. The embellishment on this type of house came from the z sheathing which is often a patterned shingle or multi-colored brick and also from the decorative elements on the L) porches such as turned spindles.

Farnham 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE , The builder of this house was Edwin Dwight Farnham, who was a veteran of the Civil War. UJI He went to the front lines in the fall of 1862 as part of the 25th C. V. and served 9 o months. The west side of this house incorporates an older structure which was originally ' Z built by Oliver Tudor. The house passed through a number of different families before the 0 Farnham's purchased it. E. Dwight Farnham tore down the original Tudor-style house in �- 1863, but preserved a portion to live in as his new house was constructed. He was 0 stricken with typhoid fever that same year and died in the house and was followed by his ' wife shortly after. His son Dwight finished the house and occupied it for a number of years. This rather sad tale accounts for the unconventional appearance of the house.

I U rn W O 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER Alexander Jackson Davis 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE This home is significant not only because it is the only high style Gothic Revival cottage in South Windsor,but because it was designed by Alexander Jackson Davis(1803-1893)thought by many to be the greatest architect of the w mid-nineteenth century. Davis was known for a number of important nationally known structures including the z Wadsworth Atheneum. Davis built this home for Commodore Charles Green(1812-1887)who moved to South v Windsor after marrying Sophia Tudor,great-granddaughter of Elihu Tudor. When they married,Commodore Green LL and wife moved into Dr. Elthu's house which was located near the street. The Greens moved the house back from the z 2 street and built this new house in 1851. They occupied it until 1874. During that time,they held a number of parties rn and dances in a large downstairs hall. ' The house remained in the Green Family until 1963 when the Greens'great-granddaughter sold it to the Mahr family. A replica of this house appeared on the G.

U N W 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE Colonial Revival is a style that was favored in rural and suburban parts of Connecticut(as well as the rest of the country)in the first half of the twentieth century. The overall effect of the assimilation of a number of traditional w building types is meant to evoke the New England Farmhouse type or Colonial home. The exaggeration of classical z elements, such as extremely large broken pediments or heavily elaborated entrances,common on original Colonial homes and is indicative of the Colonial Revival style. Typically incorporated into this style are elements of Georgian, LL Federal and Dutch Colonial construction. Today it remains a popular building style and a multitude of variations can a be seen throughout the Town of South Windsor. Modern variations(dating from after 1940)often exhibit a pared-down use of detail and ornament,but retain a "Colonial"aesthetic.

Windows throughout are 6/6 double-hung sash with plain trim. The opening on this elevation is recessed and features a central doorway flanked by full-height sidelights. This is accessed via a stone step. A modern,single-story ell extends from the rear of the house. It features a pair of oshed-roofed dormers on the upper story and a modern double-door on the first story. The house is clad in narrow clapboards. a U N W o 1 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE r New England Colonials are straightforward examples of the post-medieval construction favored by the English ' settlers in their own native country. These homes are commonly represented by a two-story, I-house form(one room w deep by two rooms wide)with central chimneys. This style was also a variation in the form of a single story z hall-and-parlor house. The windows were typically symmetrical around a central entrance and consisted of six over v six or six over nine lights. These homes also have a centrally placed chimney which helped to combat New England ' winters_ This is an excellent and relatively unchanged example of a Colonial house built in what is commonly referred z _L to as the "Dutch Colonial" style. The eaves are flared slightly and the gambrel roof are variants on the traditional Colonial house form.This house originally stood at the site of 660 Main Street. It was moved to make way for the ' new house around 1848. It was remodeled at that time and the rear addition was built at a later date. 1 South Windsor Assessor's Records , House files at the Wood Library w ` raL' in a d is - rPHOTOGRAPHER DATE Nancy Gardner 11/2004 U VIEW NEGATIVE ON FILE 2 NE Wood Library } NAME DATE o Stacey S.

There is a narrow overhang of the roof at ' the eaves and two narrow brick chimneys are found along the ridge line. A low parapet runs along the roof edge above the eaves.The facade is 3/3 bays wide and centered around a central entrance. The doorway is topped by tall cornice and transom which features a central block and two corner blocks decorated with a concentric geometric pattern. The door itself is flanked by Doric pilasters which separate the door opening from a pair of 4 over 5 paned z sidelights. Windows throughout are 12/12 double-hung sash with wide trim. The windows on the bottom story all 12 have lintels which match The facade is dominated by a two-story,hipped-roof portico supported by Ionic columns.a. , Two single-story, flat-roofed wings flank the main block.The northern wing appears to be original, while the southern wing appear to be a later addition. The northern elevation has floor to ceiling windows with wide corner ul o pilasters and a wide cornice and parapeted roof. 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE ' The House Files at the Wood Memorial Library collection states that this house was built on the farm of Samuel ' Wolcott who was "Commissary" in charge of supplying provisions for the troops during the Revolutionary War. w South Windsor was known as a"Provision Town"and provided blankets,clothes and lead. Wolcott slaughtered his z cattle here for beef to send to the soldiers. There is a water tower located on this site. Stiles states that"when young he was a figure of manly beauty,near six feet high, robust frame,dark hair,and eyes of dark hazel and uncommon , LL brightness." Since this is known as the Samuel Wolcott, this house must have been built by his grandson, Samuel z 0 Tudor Wolcott who married Maria Stewart in 1829. The house is an excellent example of a mixture of the Federal and Greek Revival forms.

' 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE The land on which this house was built was deeded to Joel Loomis from Joshua Loomis in November of 1748. The ' house was most likely built soon after. The Loomis family were well documented in Colonial"East Farmes."Giles Loomis was one of the men who answered the Lexington alarm in 1775 and Joel Loomis commanded a regiment of zmen who marched on New York in 1776. This house was kept as a Tavern by Joshua and often served as the gathering place for the local militia known as a "train band_" , U_ o Joshua deeded the house to Giles in 1786, who built an addition for a"Freemason's Hall." The next owner was Major C' Abiel Wolcott who purchased the place in 1807. Wolcott was a Justice of the Peace and by 1801, he was elected as a member of the Connecticut Legislative Assembly in Hartford. Abiel Wolcott married Ursula Tudor and their son, Samuel Tudor Wolcott became an influential member of the Town. He was one of the major benefactors of the Society's "chapel"and provided board for Reverend Thomas Robbins, who lived with the family for 19 years. ' The history of this home was documented by a fonner owner as a gift to her children. It was entitled, "The Story of a Special House" by Louise C. Taylor.

W a 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE Although it has now been converted to other uses, this warehouse played a part in South UWindoor's busiest tobacco business during the early twentieth century. Tobacco production was ' dat it's peak during the early twentieth century and the J. E. Shepard Company was South Windsor's largest grower. Tobacco was grown throughout Connecticut's Tobacco Valley in the eighteenth century but the trade didn't fully develop until growers began to specialize in the Connecticut Broadleaf variety. Due to its superior taste, broadleaf tobacco was used almost exclusively to wrap high quality cigars. Soon after its development nearly every farmer in South Windsor grew "Broadleaf". Many continued to grow this popular variety even after the new shade variety was cultivated. Numerous warehouses such as this one were constructed throughout South Windsor for the purpose of sorting and storing cured tobacco. This is one of the few remnants of an industry that once drove the economy of this area.

During the first decades of the u 1900s literally thousands of houses such as these with gable front or variations on the z theme (in this case a jerkinhead roof) were built in Connecticut's cities. This is a 0 slightly unusual example in this part of South Windsor when most of the building seemed to i occur either much earlier or much later. It is one of the only examples of this roof style z found on the street.

Greek Revival architecture was associated with the ' Nation's newfound wealth as well as increased levels of education and communication which brought numerous w archeological studies of the classical world into the mainstream consciousness. These factors resulted in a public fervor for all things classically inspired. The style is indicated by a low-pitched gabled or hipped roof with z cQi emphasized cornice lines, a porch or portico supported by prominent square or round columns,and an entry with a narrow line of transom lights surrounding the door.At times there are also pilasters on the facade of the home as well. 0 Greek Revival-style homes were executed in wood,brick and stone and sometimes featured a full Temple front. i South Windsor Assessor Records ' (n Wood Memorial Library House Files w - fY 0 PHOTOGRAPHER DATE , Nancy Gardner 11/2004 - _0 VIEW NEGATIVE ON FILE a SW Wood Library �`'' ^ ,A,-> . -- } NAME DATE o Stacey S.

U to w 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE This large brick school was built to replace three one-room school houses in 1908-1909. According to an interview with Arlene Bidwell, teacher at Union School in 1926. The Town's children walked to Main Street and took a trolley w car to Union School. Grades 1-8 were held here and each teacher was in charge of two grades. The basement held the z woodworking tool shop and sewing room. The first story was used for elementary students. Most children did not continue education at a high school level. During the 1920s many of the town's tobacco farms were consolidated and LL organized into plantations and immigrant families from Europe came to work in the fields. Union School couldn't s2 accommodate all of the children and a new school room was built on Rye Street. Two more rooms were added to the rear in the 1930s. During the depression the budget was very small classes numbered 35 to 40. w v 4 a°, South Windsor Assessor Records Wood Memorial Library House Files PHOTOGRAPHER DATE o Nancy Gardner I i/2004 _ VIEW � f ;a O NEGATIVE ON FILE a SW Wood Memorial Library NAME DATE m Stacey S.

He dedicated it to his parents Dr. Wittliam Wood and Mary Ellsworth Wood. Mr. Wood left a generous endowment to ensure the maintenance of the building. For forty years the Library served South Windsor,until the town outgrew the space. In 1971, Friends of Wood zLibrary were incorporated and now run the Library as a privately funded institution. Today, the Library houses a bird museum room,Indian artifacts and contains a wealth of infonnation relating to local history. A Hartford Times article LL dating from March 31, 1928 stated that"musical programs are held Sunday afternoons and school programs are given during the week." The building was designed by William Marchant, the man who was also responsible for the creation of the Town Hall in West Hartford. The structure is very similar to the Wood Library but is built on a much grander scale. Marchant was a master of the Colonial Revival style_ This building exemplifies his aesthetic with its graceful fanlights, symmetry of openings and pedimented portico.

By 1876, the Baptists had built a new u meeting house to accommodate their growing numbers and the original structure was removed. ' z It is uncertain if the extant barn on the site was used by the Baptists. The land was t:Ci given back to Joseph Watson Vibert, successor to Josiah Bragg. Bragg had donated the land to the church in the 1820s. Vibert served as Representative in the 1891 Ct. General Assembly. He was followed in politics by his son Horace Henry Vibert who was a farmer by , trade, but served as Assessor from 1918-1924 and Selectman from 1922-1925. He also served in the General Assembly in 1925. The rear ell was built ca. 1813 but the rest of the house was constructed around 1845. The ' style of the house is unmistakably Greek Revival with the pedimented facade and heavy trim at the cornice line.

The overall effect of the assimilation of a number of traditional w building types is meant to evoke the New England Farmhouse type or Colonial home. The exaggeration of classical z elements,such as extremely large broken pediments or heavily elaborated entrances,common on original Colonial homes and is indicative of the Colonial Revival style. Typically incorporated into this style are elements of Georgian, LL Federal and Dutch Colonial construction. This is a very straightforward example of the style and blends in nicely s2 with the many original Colonial dwellings located along Main Street.

The entrance is ' surmounted by a tail cornice and is flanked by a pair of narrow pilasters.The door is topped by a narrow transom and z0 flanked by 3/4 height sidelights. Both sets of light are filled with delicate tracery work. There have been a number of large additions to the rear of the house including one side gabled bay on the northern elevation. The house is clad in wooden clapboards. U co W f7 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE r The Federal style also known as the Adam style was popular in America in the period between 1780 and 1850. It is characterized by the use of fan lights,sidelights flanking the entrance and classical/Greek detailing_ Openings are w arranged symmetrically and windows are double hung sash. The style was called Adam after two Scottish brothers z who were inspired by the study of ancient Italian palazzos and homes. The style became known as Federal because it was employed-often for important government buildings-in the years following the formation of the United States. , LL This house is a unique example since the fanlight which is more usually employed above the door has been moved to 2 the gable end. The delicate moldings and tracery in the lights surrounding the entry suggest that this house is more co influenced by the Federal design aesthetic rather than the Greek Revival style. This house was built by a member of , the Bancroft family. It was later occupied by Benoni King, South Windsor's first representatives to the General Assembly in 1845. A daughter Cecelia, married Leonidas Chandler, a Civil War veteran, and they lived here along with her sister Cornelia King.

The one room,two-story,gable-roofed,homes were often characterized by a prominent chimney located on ' a gable end and small irregularly spaced casement windows. Some variants are gambrel-roofed. This style home often began as one room and chamber and expanded upon as families grew or as the family prospered. A curious regional a element is the"coffin door"or side entry that was often reserved for family use. These homes are commonly represented by U a two-story, I-house form(one room deep by two rooms wide)with central chimneys.This style was also a variation in the zform of a single story hail-and-parlor house.The windows were typically symmetrical around a central entrance and consisted of six over six or six over nine lights. These homes also have a centrally placed chimney which helped to combat New England winters. In some homes,adhering to seventeenth century design,the second floor projects over the , first to form a jetty. "Saltboxes" were also formed by adding a shed-roofed extension to the rear of these homes.This home was built by members of the Filley Family-perhaps Horace Filley. Horace and his wife had ten children together. The oldest,George Filley was a seaman who was killed in the explosion of a steamer he was serving on in San Fransisco bay in ' 1858. This house was also home to Justus Reed,brother of Abner Reed ca. 1800 and later Cassius Newberry(ca. 1874). The southern ell was reportedly an old cigar factory which was later moved and attached to this house in 1890. The house was converted into a two-family in 1948.

The one room,two-story,gable-roofed, homes were often characterized by a prominent chimney w located on a gable end and small irregularly spaced casement windows. Some variants are gambrel-roofed. This style z home often began as one room and chamber and expanded upon as families grew or as the family prospered. A v curious regional element is the"coffin door"or side entry that was often reserved for family use. These homes are LL commonly represented by a two-story, I-house form(one room deep by two rooms wide)with central chimneys. This a style was also a variation in the form of a single story hall-and-parlor house. The windows were typically symmetrical around a central entrance and consisted of six over six or six over nine lights. These homes also have a centrally placed chimney which helped to combat New England winters. In_some homes,adhering to seventeenth century , design,the second floor projects over the first to form a jetty. "Saltboxes" were also formed by adding a shed-roofed extension to the rear of these homes.This house was originally a saltbox but the roof was altered some time during the nineteenth century to"modernize" the appearance. This house is associated with the Loomis Family.

Original Cape Cod styles were built in the US during uthe late 17th century and had their roots in the traditional English hall and parlor plan Z houses. During the 1930s, when the automobile brought about a mass migration to the 0 suburbs, the Cape Cod house provided homeowners with an economical and easily constructed iz option that paid homage to the region's Colonial past. This particular house draws on the Spanish Colonial influence with the stucco finish and tiny window in the frontward-facing ' F, gable.

' 0 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE , The first Ecclesiastical Society in Windsor was established in 1633. As the outlying area Uj of "Windsor Farmes" continued to expand its population, attending services in far-removed u Windsor became less tolerable for members located on the East side of the River. This was ' < particularly true in the winter months when crossing the river was treacherous and travel 0 was hard. Residents petitioned the General Assembly in 1680 and 1691 to create a separate i society, but it wasn't until 1699 that the Second Ecclesiastical Society was established at East Windsor. The church was relocated to its present site in the 1760s. When East , Windsor became a separate town in 1768, this church became the First Ecclesiastical Society. In 1845, when South Windosr became a town, the church earned the right to be called the First Congregational Church of South Windsor. It was at that time that the , present-day structure was built. It is an excellent example of Greek Revival architecture employed in what is now known as the archetypal New England church form.

U rn W 0 18-ARCHITECT BUILDER 19-HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE The Italianate style,popular between 1840-1880, is identified in residential applications through the use of wide, overhanging, bracketed eaves and tall,narrow windows often with arched or crowned hoods. The windows often are g into vogue in the middle of the nineteenth century as part of the Romantic Movement. As opposed to the classic' into pairs or triplets with continuous hoods and lintels and the roofs are often flat or hipped- This style came z ism � favored at the beginning of the century, this style was much less formal and the many variations found throughout z America were patterned on variations of the Picturesque movement first seen in England. During the 1850s, Andrew a Jackson Downing helped to popularize this style through his widely read, illustrated pattern books- The District has `� no high-style examples. Vernacular versions consist of shallow-hip roof with heavy overhanging cornice, rectangular windows, which are sometimes graduated in height,are arranged in the traditional three-bay pattern with off-center doorway.

Olcott married Sarah Newberry Mather in 1782. It is probable that this house was built around that time, simply because it was customary for a newly married husband to provide his wife with a house if he had the means. 4 The house appears architecturally to date from this same time. Together Sarah and Asahel raised eight children in this house of which only four lived to adulthood. New England Colonials are straightforward examples of the post-medieval construction favored by the English settlers in their own native country. The one room, two-story, gable-roofed, homes were often ' characterized by a prominent chimney located on a gable end and small irregularly spaced casement windows. Some variants are gambrel-roofed. This style home often began as one room and chamber and expanded upon as families grew or as the family prospered.

This style was also a variation in the form of a single story hall-and-parlor house.

It is indicated by a low-pitched gabled or hipped roof z with emphasized cornice lines, a porch or portico supported by prominent square or round columns, and an entry with v a narrow line of transom lights surrounding the door. At times there are also pilasters on the facade of the home as z well. Greek Revival-style homes were executed in wood, brick and stone and sometimes featured a full Temple front.

These homes are straightforward examples of the post-medieval construction favored by the English settlers in their own native w country. The one room, two-story, gable-roofed, homes were often characterized by a prominent chimney located on z a gable end and small irregularly spaced casement windows. Some variants are gambrel-roofed. This style home v often began as one room and chamber and expanded upon as families grew or as the family prospered. A curious z regional element is the "coffin door" or side entry that was often reserved for family use. These homes are commonly 2 represented by a two-story, 1-house form(one room deep by two rooms wide) with central chimneys. This style was also a variation in the form of single story hall-and-parlor house. The windows were typically symmetrical around a central entrance and consisted of six over six or six over nine lights. These homes also have a centrally placed chimney which helped to combat New England winters. In some homes,adhering to seventeenth century design,the second floor projects over the first to form a jetty. "Saltboxes" were also formed by adding a shed-roofed extension to the rear of these homes_ South Windsor Assessor Records !

Moore was one of the original fifty settlers and was instrumental,along with Benjamin Newberry, in the separation of South Windsor from Windsor in 1768. ' The house remained in the Moore family for over 250 years. The house was also home to Helen Pelton,who was a noted historian. Her daughter Doris Burgdorf now lives in the house. She is a retired commercial artist who authored a book a about the history of Main Street in South Windsor called"A Country Mile". She is also responsible for the design of the 2 Town Seat completed in 1969. New England Colonials are straightforward examples of the post-medieval construction z favored by the English settlers in their own native country. The one room, two-story, gable-roofed, homes were often characterized by a prominent chimney located on a gable end and small irregularly spaced casement windows. Some variants are gambrel-roofed. This style home often began as one room and chamber and expanded upon as families grew or , as the family prospered. A curious regional element is the"coffin door" or side entry that was often reserved for family use. These homes are commonly represented by a two-story, [-house form(one room deep by two rooms aide) with central chimneys. This style was also a variation in the forth of a single story hall-and-parlor house. The windows were typically symmetrical around a central entrance and consisted of six over six or six over nine li;hts. These homes also have a centrally placed churtney which helped to combat New England winters. In some homes, adhering to seventeenth century design, the second floor projects over the first to Conn a jetty. "Saltboxes" were also formed by adding a shed-roofed extension to the rear of these homes.

Samuel's brother Wareham Moore built the Federal-style house across the street ca. 1800. This structure appears to be a fairly straightforward New England Colonial that was later w modified with numerous modern additions at the rear and an attached garage. The house also is odd since it appears Z to have been turned so that the gable end is facing the street. The fact that the house of Samuel's brother Wareham is v very similar indicates that this was a deliberate choice to "modernize" the older and perhaps staid style, since New L,.

Some variants are gambrel-roofed. This style home LL often began as one room and chamber and expanded upon as families grew or as the family prospered. A curious z 2 regional element is the "coffin door" or side entry that was often reserved for family use_ These homes are commonly represented by a two-story, I-house form(one room deep by two rooms wide) with central chimneys. This style was also a variation in the form of a single story hail-and-parlor house_ The windows were typically symmetrical around a central entrance and consisted of six over six or six over nine lights. These homes also have a centrally placed chimney which helped to combat New England winters. In some homes,adhering to seventeenth century design, the second floor projects over the first to form a jetty. "Saltboxes" were also formed by adding a shed-roofed extension to the rear of these homes.

The ridge is oriented parallel to the street and there is a tall, chamfered brick chimney located centrally along the ridge. There are very wide overhangs of the roof at the boxed eaves and rake. ' The fagade is 5/5 bays wide and set around a central entrance. The doorway is flanked by 3/4 length sidelights and pilasters and is topped by a tall, projecting cornice. Windows throughout are 6/6 double-hung sash with narrow cornices and plain trim. _ The house is clad in clapboards. 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER ' �Nathanial Rockwell, Jr. 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE ' This house was built by Nathanial Rockwell, Jr. ca. 1809. Rockwell sold the house in 1835 to Asahel Nettleton, Professor at the Theological Seminary. He was able to purchase the t] house from the proceeds of his book "Village Hymns". The entrance is the focal point of I dall Federal buildings, which were most popular between 1780 and 1830. They are typically 0 subdued in their detailing with the minimum in classical elaboration. Adherence to iz classically inspired symmetry is important in this style. The gable end often faces the 3 road and contains the main entrance although some homes had the main entrance on the long ' elevation of the home especially those in early New England. Decoration on these homes tends to be light employing classical swags or dentil moldings.

This style was also a variation in the form of a single story ahall-and-parlor house.The windows were typically symmetrical around a central entrance and consisted of six over six or six over nine lights_ These homes also have a centrally placed chimney which helped to combat New England L winters. This is an excellent and relatively unchanged example of a Colonial house built in what is corru 29 nonly referred to as the "Dutch Colonial style. The eaves are flared slightly and the gambrel roof are variants on the traditional Cn Colonial house form_ 1t was built by Samuel Terry for his wife Hulda Burnham.

The roofline is arranged parallel to the street ' g and there is a corbelled brick chimney located off center along the ridge. There is a narrow overhang of the roof at the eaves and rake. The facade is 5/5 bays wide with a central entrance. This entrance is the most stunning element of the .c house and is known as a Connecticut River Valley Doorway. This is an excellent example of the form. The door is flanked , ° by pilasters set upon foilate plinths. The doorway is topped by a massive,scrolled,broken pediment trimmed with dentils. o Each scroll end of the pediment terminates in a six pointed star and between the scrolls the door is further elaborated by an I-- ornate pedstal. The double-leaf door is paneled with four lights in the upper portion. Myrtle Odlum stated that, "The W handwrought door latch with red Morocco leather beneath the six nail heads,showed the skill of the men who forged it." w Windows throughout are 12/12 double-hung-sash-most with gabled cornices. The side entrances are also fairly ornate. 0 The house is clad in narrow clapboards and rests on a sandstone foundation. An ell at the rear is the original portion of the house, built in 1697. When the new house was built it was pivoted back and sideways to form the ell to the main block. The entire house was moved back from the street in 1913. 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE ' The builder of this house was Ebenezer Grant-one of the most prominent merchants in East Windsor. Ebenezer purchased his father Samuel's existing house and eight acres of land some time around 1757. He turned the existing , w house into the kitchen ell of this "new" house. Grant held a number of town offices including deputy sheriff, surveyor 0 and selectman in addition to being a remarkably successful merchant. His fleet of vessels included stoops, schooners and brigantines on which he exported: horses, tobacco, lumber, pork, rye, Indian corn,oats, and pipe staves" and z imported rum sugar and molasses(Bergdorf, p 66). He served as a Captain in the french and Indian Wars and was in charge of raising supplies during the Revolution. British General Richard Prescott was also bitletted here along with two other soldiers. The Grant family produced a number of figures of national importance. Ebenezer's brother Noah was great-grandfather to Utysses S. Grant. Ebenzer Grant's second wife,Jemima was the mother of Oliver Ellsworth, , the second Chief Justice of America. This house is an excellent example of early Colonial Architecture and retains perhaps one of the most elaborate Connecticut Valley doorways. The interior also retains a great deal of the original workmanship -most notably the staircase in the central hail with a capped newel post and elaborately carved balusters.

It is set close to the street on an open lot, but mature trees line the road before the house. 1 17.OTHER NOTABLE FEATURES OF BUILDING OR SITE(Interior and/or exterior) , 1712 Main Street is a two-and-one-half-story New England Colonial with a unique, double-hipped roof. A massive brick chimney is located at the center of the asphalt-shingled roof. Three hipped-roof dormers punctuate the western elevation and each , Qis filled with a 6/6 double-hung sash window. The facade is 5/5 bays wide and arranged around a central entrance. Windows throughout are 12/12 double hung sash with plain trim uand plain lintels: The same splayed lintel motif is found above the board and batten door. The house was modified a great deal during the nineteenth and early twentieth ' ocenturies. It has since been restored to its current condition using reclaimed materials from a number of local properties. Local history indicates that the rear ell may have been a former cabinetmaker's shop. ' W 0 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER ' Moses Welles 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE ' According to historian Doris Burgdorf, this house was built circa 1780 by Moses Welles, a 0 hatter originally from Colchester, who was father to Noah Welles, the builder of 1828 Main ' d Street. Other accounts indicate that the house was built in the early 1700's by Sir John Saltonstall, but these remain unsubstantiated. WPA surveys completed during the 1930's concur L with the 1780 date of construction. In any case, the house has a unique double-hipped roof that 2 resembles a mansard which is not known to exist on a house of this age elsewhere in ' L Connecticut. Moses sold the house to his son Noah in 1781, the year he was married. The land on which the house was built was originally owned by John Rockwell, who built a house here in 1706. It passed to David Burnham of Wethersfield and to the Mckee and McKinstry families before coming into the possession of Welles. Lemuel Bissell purchased the house in 1834 after renting ' it for a number of years. After briefly passing back into Rockwell hands, the property was purchased by a widow from New York and her son-in-law Charles Hannon.

He sold the house to his cousin Abiel Grant in 1753. Together the two men worked as carpenters and both U worked to complete the Ebenezer Grant House. This is an excellent example of a New England , ZColonial with a saltbox roof. These homes are straightforward examples of the post-medieval construction favored by the English settlers in their own native country. The one room, EL- two-story, gable-roofed, homes were often characterized by a prominent chimney located on a Z gable end and small irregularly spaced casement windows. Some variants are gambrel-roofed. ' C7 This style home often began as one room and chamber and expanded upon as families grew or as the family prospered. A curious regional element is the "coffin door" or side entry that was often reserved for family use. These homes are commonly represented by a two-story, I-house form (one room deep by two rooms wide) with central chimneys. This style was also a variation ' in the form of a single story hall-and-parlor house. The windows were typically symmetrical around a central entrance and consisted of six over six or six over nine lights. These homes also have a centrally placed chimney which helped to combat New England winters. In some homes, adhering to seventeenth century design, the second floor projects over the first to form a , jetty. "Saltboxes" were also formed by adding a shed-roofed extension to the rear of these homes.

Marchant 19_HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE This structure, former Ellsworth School, is built on the site of the former Theological Institute of Connecticut, predecessor of the Hartford Seminary. The Institute was organized in 1833 after Erastus Ellsworth provided 70 acres of land for its use. Portions of the former Theological Institute were used to create the existing building. The Doric LU z columned portico that now fronts Ellsworth School was once the front of the Seminary chapel. The stepping stone from Timothy Edward's house was used for the cornerstone of the seminary building and it was used again in the z raised platform of the portico for the high school. in 1865,thirty years after the founding of the institute, it moved to �2 Hartford due to the isolation of South Windsor's rural community_ The chapel Laid dormant for years and was turned `r' into a seminary building for a time, but it eventually served as a Dixieland nightclub. Finally, in 1934 William Wood purchased the property and donated the land and buildings to the Town. In 1936 the high school was built by noted architect William T. Marchant, who also designed the Wood Memorial Library. He was responsible for many of West Hartford's municipal buildings and also the design of the Wood Nlernorial Library.

The gable end is set facing the street and there are narrow overhangs at the eaves and at the gable end. There is a wide cornice and frieze band of trim lining the eaves and rake as well as returns at the gable ends. The facade of the structure is 1/2 bays wide with a simple doorway trimmed in wide molding and topped by a tall cornice.

' w a 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE This small structure is important not only because it is an endearing symbol of small town t.� life, and a excellent example of vernacular Greek Revival architecture, but also because of the 2 man who practiced medicine here. Dr. Wood was a graduate of the University of New York in 1847. That same year he set up practice in East Windsor Hill. He met and married Mary L. Ellsworth the following year and together they had a son and a daughter. Although highly respected as a Z physician, Dr. Wood's hobbies drew him more acclaim than his practice. He was a learned ornithologist and archeologist as well as a skilled taxidermist. He published a number of articles on the birds of New England and after his death his collection of birds and eggs were donated to the Wadsworth Atheneum - they are now at least partially on display in the Wood Memorial Library. Many of the archaeological relics that Dr. Wood catalogued were sent to the , Smithsonian. This small parcel of land was deeded to Dr. Wood by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Ellsworth in 1855. He built this office shortly thereafter. rA South Windsor Assessor's Records ' uul House files at the Wood Memorial Library Doris Burgdorf: A Country Mile, South Windsor Historical Society, 1995 (pg 44) .

U V) W 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE Upon first glance this house appears to have been built in the Greek Revival style and therefore from a date sometime in the 1830s-1860s, but closer inspection reveals that this is, in fact, the oldest house in the historic district and one of the oldest houses in South Windsor_ The solidity of the form, the rectangular plan and the symmetrically placed zopenings speak to the New England Colonial tradition. Yet the elaborate door surround,pedimented gables and frieze a band indicate the later Greek Revival influence. This house was built by Benjamin Bissell who died at age 29,just U z four years after it was built. His widow deeded the property to his brothers, Tom and Isaac. It was sold to a cousin 2 Timothy Stoughton in 1730. Ebenezer Bissell purchased the house in 1738 and it remained in the Bissell family for U' almost one hundred years. Erastus Ellsworth purchased the house in 1832- It was most likely under his direction that the Greek Revival-style modernizations took place. The house was also moved to the raised brick foundation at an unknown date. The cun-ent property lines associated with this house run from the street to the River and remain unchanged from the day the land was transferred from John Bissell to his son Tom in 1658.

The entrance is is located slightly off-center on the first story. o Windows throughout are 1/1 double-hung sash with wood sashes. There is a hipped roof porch at the rear of the 12 house as well. The house is clad in clapboards and the roof is covered in asphalt shingles. a U to w 0 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE This house was built by Mary Holman after she purchased the lot in 1910 but before she sold the finished house to her nephew Arthur Stiles in 1916. Arthur was a descendent of John Stiles,one of the founders of Windsor who arrived w with Richard Saltonstall in 1635. This house is an excellent example of Colonial Revival style known as Foursquare. z The Foursquare, which became popular throughout the U.S. between 1900 and 1930,is characterized by its simple, square structure, four-room floor plan and low-pitched hipped roof. A folk variety of the Colonial Revival LL movement,this style was well suited to small lots,as its design offered maximum interior space. As suburbs around o the country grew rapidly,this housing style became ubiquitous. The roofs often feature a central dormer and the height is typically two or two and one half stories. A full width open porch is typically found across the facade and the detailing throughout is typically simple- influenced by the CraftsmanBungaIow style.

It is set fairly close to the road on a lot dotted by mature trees. The surrounding houses are built in a similar style and date from a similar time period. 17.OTHER NOTABLE FEATURES OF BUILDING OR SITE(Interior and/or exterior) 1846 Main Street is a two-story Greek Revival-style structure. The gabled roof is arranged parallel to the street and there are two tall,narrow brick chimneys located along the ridge. There are wide overhangs of the roof at the boxed eaves and at the rake. Each pedimented gable end is punctuated by a tripartite window, the central part of which is topped by a fanlight. A wide frieze band is located beneath the eaves. The facade is 5/5 bays wide and arranged around a central entrance. The entrance is covered by a flat-roofed portico supported by columns. Sidelights flank the doorway which is also topped by a four-light transom. Windows throughout are 6/1 double-hung sash with plain trim and flat cornices. The house is clad in o clapboards with wide cornerboards.There is a two-story additions at the rear which was built in the same style as the main a block. A hipped roof enclosed porch is also located on the southern elevation. This too has been built in a style which is sympathetic to the original design. One important feature, the paneling in the dining room was designed by none other than w Wallace Nutting who also made the corner cupboards. 0 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER John S. Clapp 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE Although this house exhibits some elements of Greek Revival design such as the wide corner boards and frieze band, ' the "bones" of this house closely resembles that of a traditional New England Colonial. The symmetrically arranged w facade with the central entrance is a hallmark of early Colonial design and can be seen in numerous older homes z throughout the district. This may speak to a more traditional mindset of the builder John S. Clapp. Clapp was a v blacksmith as was his father Increase.Clapp bought a house on this lot from Justus Day in 1839 and proceeded to tear it down and construct the existing structure. In 1864, he traded this house for the one at 1689 Main Street. In 1874 the z house was purchased by Calvin Parmalee,who also owned the East Windsor Hill Post Office and Store. It next passed to Ellsworth Sperry who made a number of changes to the house including the addition of the Wallace Nutting Colonial Revival dining room. Mr. Sperry was an inventor and an electrical engineer who developed the third rail that is today used to power Metro North trains.

The house is clad in narrow clapboards with cornerboards and rests on a raised, p brick foundation. a- U to w 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER Mr. Williams of North Hampton,MA 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE This house was built for the son of President of the Theological Seminary,Professor John Ellery Tyler by his father-in-law known to us only as Mr. Williams of Northampton,MA. This innovative house style may have been w the result of a new spirit of intellectualism which flourished shortly after the Seminary was established in East z Windsor Hill in 1834. Italianate-style buildings slowly gained prominence throughout the country after 1840, which makes this a fairly progressive choice in such a rural community. After Tyler,the house passed to Julius Anderson ti and from him to George Clapp.George's father Increase, built the brick house across Route 5 in 1811. George Clapp, o Jr. was partner in a sporting goods store in Hartford known as Clapp&Treat.The house passed to Dr. Henry Dean in rn 1899 and from them to the Boardman family. The name known due to their fame as pewter and silversmiths. Nathanial Bisset built a mansion here on the land on which this house stands. The cabinetmaker's shop o of Jonathon Birge also stood on this spot and later a woolen factory.

The store is clad in clapboards o and rests on a stone foundation. 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER Jeremiah Ballard and David Bissell III 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE This structure has served as a store of one kind or another for almost 250 years. It was built(or at least ell portion)of it)by Jeremiah Ballard in 1757. During the 1760's David Bissell III expanded on the store to include a shop and w storehouse(the gambrel roofed portion).A portion of the ell was located on Stephen Mears property as well. David 0 sold tobacco,sugar,molasses, woolens,candlesticks and various sundries. Evidence of commercial activity can be seen in the boom and second-story doorway. Obadiah Dickenson operated a saddle shop from here and Smith Bailey LL a gold and silversmith rented space here for a shop. In 1779, Bailey filled an order from George Washington for a _a pen knife. In 1796, Aaron Bissell, Jr. purchased the shop and removed a portion which stood on a neighbors'property. in Bissell went into business with Sam Tudor and in 1803 entered into a partnership with Eli Haskell.

Two interior brick chimneys are located along the , ridge of the hipped roof of the main block. There is a narrow overhang of the roof at the eaves which are lined by dental molding. The facade is 5/515 bays wide on all three stories.On the third story the windows are arranged around a tripartite window separated by pilasters and set atop an elongated sill. A Palladian window separated by 0 Ionic pilasters serves as the focus of the second story and an elaborate fronticepiece centers the first story.Windows 0 on the first and second stories are 6/6 double-hung-sash with tall cornices,while the windows on the third story are 6/3 double-hung sash.The grand entrance is reached by three brownstone steps and is flanked by two Ionic columns, which are, in turn, flanked by sidelights. The columns support a triangular pediment crowned with dental moulding. wThe pediment tops a semi-circular fanlight with delicate tracery.The north and south facades also have fairly in elaborate entrances which are similar to the one on the main facade, but without the sidelights. The house is clad in narrow clapboards and rests on a raised brownstone foundation.A carriage house and privy built in the same style and at the same time as the house are located in the rear yard. 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER Thomas Hayden 11-t.Thomas Hayden 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE This fifteen room building is the earliest three-story mansion standing in the Connecticut Valley and perhaps the most important building in the Town of South Windsor. It was designed and constructed by noted Windsor architect Thomas Hayden. Hayden collaborated with and may have trained with Asher Benjamin while working on the Oliver Phelps house Lu in Suffield,CT. John Watson(1744-1824)was a Yale graduate and a successful merchant in East Windsor Hill.He prided Uhimself on being an intellectual and held a great library at his home. At the time of his death in 1824 he was one of the richest men in the Connecticut River Valley. His grandsons went on to become successful in their own right-John ran a zshipyard north of the Scantic River; Dr. Sereno Watson became a noted botanist and curator of the Harvard Herbarium- This is one of the purest interpretations of the"Palladian"style to be found in the Connecticut River Valley and speaks to the high degree of wealth and sophistication enjoyed by the early residents of East Windsor Hill.This house set the standard of style for the elite of the Connecticut Valley-many of whom utilized elements of the Palladian style to represent their standing in the community and to signify their level of sophistication. The elaborate entrance features the classical ' elements of Palladian design-Ionic columns,elaborate cornices,semi-circular fanlights and a solid sense of symmetry. After the house left the Watson family it passed to the Bancrofts and to the Goodwin family in 1925.

The house is set amongst a number of historic homes built in a similar style and dating from a similar time period. 17.OTHER NOTABLE FEATURES OF BUILDING OR SITE(Interior and/or exterior) 1891 Main Street is a two-and-one-half-story Federal-style structure with a gabled roof and four tall interior chimneys -two near each gable end. The roof is covered in slate tiles and there is a narrow overhang of the roof at the eaves and rake. The decorative effects are simple-a line of dental moldings runs along the cornice and the gable ends are pedimented and punctuated by fanlights. The facade is a symmetrical 5/5 bays wide with a central entrance. The entrance consists of a paneled door topped by an elliptical fanlight and flanked by gracefully trimmed sidelights.The z windows throughout are 12/12 double-hung sash with narrow sills and flat arches. There is a large two-story addition at the rear.There are single-story,shed-roofed, open porch additions at the rear of the house. , U W W a 1 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER Captain Aaron Bissell,Jr. 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE The house is an excellent example of the Federal style. The fanlight over the front door and the gracefully decorated sidelights are hallmarks of Federal design-sometimes referred to as the "Adam"style. In July of 1813,the Reverend w Dr. Robbin s Diary read"Captain Bissell is building a very fine house...a very valuable house." (South Windsor z Historic District Inventory Form). Aaron Bissell,Jr. was a man of many talents and interests. He was a farmer who v also bred sheep; a Tavern keeper(of Bissell's Tavern); owner of both Bissell's Store and post office;and a partner in , LL sawmills, and the Pitkin Glass Works in Manchester,CT. Perhaps a lack of focus led him to spread his talents too 2 thin. After Bissell died bankrupt in 1834, Increase Clapp purchased the house. It was inherited by his son Carlos after to 1859 and then passed to the Abbe family in 1898.

Smith and his brother Richard operated a shop in the Post Office Building at 1865 Main.Street where they repaired watches and made silver spoons-each marked with the a "S.B" of their shop(Burgdorf,p 19). The house was sold to Lucy Webster in 1775 who in turn sold it to Daniel Bumap in 1786. Burnap was also a silversmith and clockmaker who apprenticed with Thomas Harland of Norwich.Tall clocks were za specialty of his and he gained a very respectable reputation due to these clocks.George Washington ordered a pen knife y from Burnap in 1779. Along with his apprentices including Eli Terry,Burnap dealt in the founding and repair of a wide variety of metal objects. Burnap sold the house to Aaron Bissell in 1799 and in 1869 it passed from the Bissell family to Daniel Sperry.

This is one of Connecticut's most noted early cemeteries with stones.which range from small unadorned markers, o fearful skulls, and winged cherubs, with ornate decorative detailing, to classical urn and willow Q motifs at the end of the 19th c. The Rev. and Mrs. Edwards are buried beneath a rare table monument. ' QThere are also two obelisks which date from the 1820s. Local red sandstone predominates, with OP granitic schist and marble interspersed throughout. The memorial gateway was donated by the Connecticut Society of Colonial Dames of America in 1929 in honor of the Edwards. UJ U ' a 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER , 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE , God's Acre, which lies within the Historic District, is the oldest burying ground in South Windsor, dating from 1708. It is also one of the State's most notable early graveyards, u due to its association with the Edwards family and the fact that there are more graves of Z colonial veterans here than in any other cemetery in Connecticut. Markers from the Fren 4 ch 0 and Indian War, King William's War through King Philip's War, to the Revolutionary War and u- the War of 1812 have all been replaced with marble to ensure their longevity. The first 3 and second meeting houses were located adjacent to this cemetery before the present church was constructed in 1845, further south along the street. Timothy Edwards, the Town's first pastor and father of noted theologian Jonathon Edwards is buried here. Identified carvers, who left their mark up and down the River Valley, include two native sons, Ebenezer Drake ' and Thatcher Lathrop. Both are well represented here.

The entire structure is made from hand molded bricks. U 0 W 0 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE This structure was built by Henry Sadd in 1905 on land he donated to the town. Mr. Sadd, along with Orin Hollister of Manchester and Buell Grant hauled the hand made bricks by wagon to the construction site. Upon it's completion w Sadd left 1000 dollars to the town to maintain the building. He deeded the building and land to the Town in 1906 to z be used for a library, that served the eastern side of town, known as the community of Wapping, for over 60 years. It was closed in 1968,due to a lack of space. The building was sold and the money was used to build the central library- a It has served a number of uses through the years and has passed through a number of hands, but it remains an 2 i mportant part of this community and is one of the few remaining historic structures in a rapidly changing part of co South Windsor.

There is a modern garage at the side of the house. ut e3 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER , 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE , Despite some obvious alterations, this house is a good example of the Italiante style, which was popular between 1840 and 1880. The Italianate style is identified in residential 0 applications through the use of wide, overhanging, bracketed eaves and tall, narrow windows often with arched or crowned hoods. The windows often are grouped into pairs or triplets with continuous hoods and lintels and the roofs are often flat or hipped. This style came into U. vogue in the middle of the nineteenth century as part of the Romantic movement. As opposed to E the classicism favored at the beginning of the century, this style was much less formal and the ' i2 many variations found throughout America were patterned on variations of the Picturesque (A movement first seen in England. During the 1850s, Andrew Jackson Downing helped to popularize this style through his widely read, illustrated pattern books. Vernacular versions consist of shallow-hip roof with heavy overhanging cornice, rectangular windows, which are sometimes graduated in height, are arranged in the traditional three-bay pattern with off-center doorway.

The gable end is set facing the street and there is a short brick chimney located at the rear along the ridge. There are wide overhangs of the roof,wide moldings at the eaves and rake and returns at the gable ends. Eyebrow windows pierce the frieze that runs beneath the eaves. The facade is 2/3 bays wide with a central entrance. The elaborate surround features a projecting lintel and wide pilasters. The paneled door is flanked by 3/4 height sidelights. Windows throughout are 6/6 double-hung sash with plain trim. o Vegetation is growing up the facade and obscures a shed-roofed addition on the northern elevation. The house is clad 1n aluminum siding. a wThe barn located east of the house is also an important element.It is double-height with wide overhangs and a o frontward facing gable. Cut and hinge doors provide access on the gable end. It is clad in unpainted vertical plank siding. 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE This is a good example of a Greek Revival-style house and is one of the only surviving farm complexes in this portion w of the town. It is associated with the Podunk Valley Mill which is now the Mill on the River Restaurant at 989 z Ellington Road. This house may have been home to mill operators as the Stoughton Family is associated with both properties_ During the 1930's it was home to a Mrs.Jensen who kept a variety of livestock as well as a functioning LL tobacco farm. The high architectural style of this house is somewhat surprising considering that it has been covered in aluminum siding. It is an important property and appears to be under extreme threat from encroaching development. South Windsor Assessor Records Wood Memorial Library House Files \N U tY O 4.

U W o 1 18.ARCHITECT BUILDER George Bancroft 19.HISTORICAL OR ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE This simple vernacular home incorporated elements of the Italianate style such as a flat roof,porches and tall cornices above each window. The Italianate style came into vogue in the middle of the nineteenth century as part of the w Romantic Movement. As opposed to the classicism favored at the beginning of the century, this style was much less z formal and the many variations found throughout America were patterned on variations of the Picturesque movement first seen in England. During the 1850s,Andrew Jackson Downing helped to popularize this style through his widely , LL read, illustrated pattern books. The District has no high-style examples. Vernacular versions consist of shallow-hip S2 roof with heavy overhanging cornice, rectangular windows, which are sometimes graduated in height,are arranged in U) the traditional three-bay pattern with off-center doorway. This home was built by George Bancroft a tobacco farmer. His descendent Paul Bancroft continued the tradition and owned the land all the way east along Strong Road to the point where it connects with Sullivan Avenue.

The entrance is the focal point of all Federal buildings,most popular between 1790 and 1820. They are typically subdued in their detailing with the minimum in zclassical elaboration. The gable end often faces the road and contains the main entrance although some homes had v the main entrance on the long elevation of the home especially those in early New England. Sidelights,transom or , LL fanlights are a prevalent feature on these homes and their decoration tends to be light and delicate-employing what is 0 often referred to as Adamesque details such as classical swags, shields or dentil).Holdings.
